lyrics

it started on a thursday underneath a neon cover reading 'no parking'. there's a red light blinking, and i counted as i sit. it reminds me of an analog clock; not counting down for there is no end, but counting up to when i can leave. and this is an amusement. lets go. wait. i used to be someone to you now i get drunk and sing sometimes. one more than the other i admit but i cant forget the times and places we stood. if i could kill you with this song i would.
she looks uncomfortable i tell myself
through harsh winters and icy hearts it left you wanting more
the hostess walking by.. i watch
open arms and open skies.
i could see tarantulas in the sky. the clouds move like wagons as the kids rode the carousel up down up down the kids rode. i put my hands in my pocket. i walked over to the group of people. they were eating, drinking, feeling as great as their air. and i had the stage in fifteen.
so color me complacent im just a pair of rolled up sleeves that you wear on the weekends with some old friends. that sweater looks dreadful. just take it off.
your smile looks treacherous. you didnt mean it. you dont mean it.
i sat listening to the fan coming from the floor as the lights dimmed and my eyes faded. the bookshelf in front of me had been knocked over, and above the attic was your room.
i'll throw you all my sympathy along with all my sticks and all my stones. your favorite poems they break my bones.
a day of daydreaming shakes you to pieces.
