lyrics

Accept the expiration date
In summer season morning ways a heavy toll on those confiding in the sides of mountains trying to bide the time and then waste the hours away
I sit here wondering the shot I’ve got to make it out alive
Inside the very time bomb I reside in fighting with the shadows on the walls
They answer every call I give
They lift their fingers but they never lend a hand
The band would play the greatest hits the kids just love them and they would hum and strum them every way till day became the nighttime said too loud
The crowds are crying
You might be trying to see but it’s not good enough for me
So say instead of just sitting here dying, I’ll lend you a hand
Why don’t you stand up on those legs I got you

And then now its time
Time to get up off the floor
There’s got to be something more than just these same old lights and same old door
I’m turning around
I grab a suit off the hook
I take a final look to see the piece of meat that’s staring back at me
And from the bed I take off spinning
As if I’m winning any praise from those who see me
I glide from door to hall towards the call the phrases they keep their swimming on the inside from keep on screaming everything I think of to let someone know that I’d be gone
Just give it a sunrise
The whites of my eyes like the rise of blood up to my ears as I look into the night

I feel like some kind of foe to these people
I don’t know what to do with my hands
It’s my entire world askew
It’s got the feel of something new
It’s sent me lying right around the bend and sent me soaring
What I’d give to start anew
The crowd was shroud in navy blue and some displayed a rancid pink like two held faces in the sick and I’d reside upon the wall shooting daggers at them all
Safe and sound inside a tomb
Till the roof blew off the party room instead
We take off running towards the sun
The heat is somehow just enough for me
Tough talk for shakes handshake backseat mister ravage every stratosphere we see
Propositions I’d agree with just come to us in the air and all the while we stare away
Because looking at my face again reminds you you’re still slipping in
Your execution looked so terrible
In the light your soulless side provides a deadly look
The one who took your pain and suffering away
Around in the sky and while your life is on fire you can’t just help to admire and gawk at the pyres below
