I still don't know what I am waiting for
I feel my spirit soar and this chamber door
that's locking me down
I found the key but I never said a word about it
I make believe I'm in a different place
I've got my heart on race and I'm
fucking with my serotonin
I trick the days into turning me to somebody else
Now I'm staring through the cold eye
arrived at yesterday's horizons
Rumbling through the rat holes
going on with nowhere to go
And I don't want to waste my life here
waiting for another sad year
to take me to those tables waiting
surrounded by those same old faces staring at me
I don't want to be there
and I don't want this world to go on
I don't want to be there
and I don't want this world to go on
I don't know what we are doing here
we've made it very clear that we
don't belong in each other's lives
but here we are drunk and soulless
in the still of the night
Counterfeiting all my cavalier days
back when my wanton ways always led me
to those warming embers
but now your flame's burned and I don't
give a fuck about it
I'm just going through the motions
trying to not think about it
And I don't want to waste my life here
waiting for another sad year
to take me to those tables waiting
surrounded by those same old faces.. thinking,
we don't want to be here
but we don't want to talk about it
we don't want to be here
but we don't want to talk about it
No, we don't want to be here
but we don't want to talk about it

Crashing In

It was one of those nights
when it all comes crashing in
You're saying goodbye
through your eyes to your only friend
And though your words are chosen
and you never let on
he could still hear the pain
in your siren song
still... he never even tried to
put his arm around you
It was one of those days
when you're looking for a new direction
Tearing up the pavements
looking for a soul protection
But it's one of those towns
where you can't get lost
and unless you take the road
where the streets don't cross.
You'll be doing this again
pulling at the reins of depression
You are alone... You are . . .
It was one of those times
when it all catches up to you
You're still on your own
and there's nothing else that you can do
Well you can try to pretend
to be somebody else
but if that's what he wants
then you're still by yourself
sleeping like a whore
or a child in a stranger's room.
Sleeping like a whore
or a child in a stranger's room.
It's one of those nights
when the wind is blowing wild
and you remember to yourself
from the time that you were a child
dreaming like an angel in your family home
waking to the sound of the sparrow song
now you're up here all alone
drinking in the lap of depression
You never thought you'd be here on your own
drinking in the lap of depression
You're all alone... You are...
It was one of those nights
when it all comes crashing in
You're saying goodbye
in your mind to your only friend
Though he's laying right beside you
in a chamber sleep
You're still waiting for that stranger
out there wandering the street
Will he ever come to get you
and take you where you want to be?
Will he ever come to get you
and take you far away from me?

Boys, boys, she never gets tired, she's always hanging around
Boys, boys, She'll never retire, she'll always be the talk of this town
And if these cannibals don't eat her up,
then someone rich is gonna snatch her up
And if she cannot make the clocks rewind,
then she'll have herself another bottle of wine
She said, Boys, boys, you know I'm really wild, I'll drink you under these tables
Girls, girls with your daggers for eyes, looking me down, like Cain looked at Able
And I've always been a street cat
And I know when not to turn my back
From the cities to the small towns
All the same lonely faces come gathering 'round
And she said, Boy, boy. look in my eyes, I'll only do this for you
And oh, boy, I'd even retire, if you'd only take me back to your room
And if you take away the spotlight
I'd trade it in for daylight
And I'd walk with you into the sun
Through those silent fields we both would run away.
Until they said, Boys, boys, she never got tired, look who's hanging around
Oh, boy, I knew she'd never retire, she'll always be, the talk of this same old town

I am afraid nothing will change
the world will go on this way
If the passing of days does not bring on change
and nothing is happening
I will be forced to stay in my room
Cursed be to the sun
Cursed be to the moon
I will be forced to stay in my home
here on my own afraid and alone
oh and it's true, the world is an enemy
Leave me alone, I've stopped fighting entropy
I'm not designed to live in this time
of death and debauchery
Where the poet is scorned
and while his poetry burns
the killer gains infamy
I wont resign, to wasting my only time
trapped in a maze of cold heartless lonely days
You were so shy and you loved to hide
behind your astrology
Now you're as far as the cold lonely stars
that you swore brought you here to me
And now we live in a world of affairs
don't talk about love, because it
doesn't mean I care
close the door, that was before,
now I don't need you anymore
I wont resign, to wasting my only time
trapped in a maze of cold heartless lonely days
