1st Verse
Feels weird to be back home
Still checking up on the telephone
Could of sworn I was moving on
But in my mind
I’m sure I knew this all along
The skyline hangs so familiar
But I guess some things always were
No motive to panic, came back without a trace
I remember the names, they just don’t recall my face
Starring into eyes that look like they’ve seen a ghost
Ones that transfigure me till I’m nothing more
Then the past wrapped up in flesh and bones
I’m breaking down, down, down
And I’m done waiting for you to come crashing into the ground
Pre Chorus
So if I seemed more cynical, would you blame me?
Is this ignorance your bliss, feeling shame free?
Still pretended to be interested anyway, call that crazy
But apathy got the best of me eventually
Chorus
Narcolepsy fell through once I hit the floor
That’s when you kindly threw me out your door
Said I’ve been talking in my sleep all night
A stack of cds in a broken down car
I’ll find my friends whoever they are
Cause I've hated folding hands all my life
So goodnight
Goodbye
Good riddance
I’m done
2nd Verse
A bitter loner by all means
While no one bothered with the crime scene
Thought I’d be fine once I matured
Then I grew up
And now I'm really not quite sure
I heard rumors in the doldrums
Hints you were having some problems
Everyone believed, I was too dazed to help anyone
And looking back, you know I probably was
So now I’m struggling just to stay on God’s good side
If there’s nothing at the moment worth living for
I might as well try to be living right
I’m breaking down, down, down
And I’m done waiting for you to come crashing into the ground
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
This story’s better told
In a bench of ebony and ivory
And it sounds more sincere
On a barstool behind six strings
But it doesn’t even matter
When nobody is listening
I’m breaking down, down, down
And I’m done wasting time for a miracle in this crummy town
2nd Chorus
When the weather down south is too warm to snow
Chances are you’ll probably never even know
That last winter just passed us right by
Well maybe my sorry luck will bring
Some better news to hope for with the spring
And I’m not taking your ‘no’ this time
So goodnight
Goodbye
Good riddance
I’m done
Answer:
V1) Well I jotted down this note
To thank you for waiting until I got through the doorway
To make him your new years resolution
And as for self improvement
I plan on taking a hiatus
Just to add to the effect of this broken hearted illusion
C) Well tonite I think I'll set this place on fire
And burn away the memories and all my hearts desires
I'll watch these letters blaze so highly
From all the cologne that I supplied them
I'm going to watch it come down around me
And leave this as a monument to memories
V2) Well Introverted little me
In a room full of people I can manage to be alone
Just to let you know I'm terribly happy...but not really...
The clock strikes midnight...
You've run out of time
Your charade is almost over...won't you tell me how you're feeling...
B) Melting down, leaving everything but this foundation
So I guess we'll both start over with all our good intentions
In different directions...In different directions
congrats
Answer:
I nominate "Spend A Day Wearing Chuck Taylors and Knit Sweaters and You'll Know Why I Cry" by emo_boy
Verse 1
your words
cut straight to my heart
the two-edged sword
tore me apart
I'm sorry
For bleeding on your shirt
please just say it's ok
for me to die
because I can't let you down
Chorus
So spend
A day in chuck taylors
And wear
A knitted wool sweater
And then you'll know why I cry
'Cause my heart
Hurts worse than my feet
And this wool (like your words)
Just tears me apart
and that's what makes me cry
Verse 2
My hands
Clinch your throat I you
I choke
As you die, I die too
But still
You have my heart
Till sweet
Do us part
I'll love you till you die
Outro
Emotional,
contradictory,
A living cliche
And proud to be
Answer:
Apathy is a Dragon
Life is under control
Though it's interminable
Continually continuing
Life is a constant battle
That we no longer fight
Content with complacency
[chorus]
Apathy is
A dragon
Come to kill
Us all
The new rebellious cry
Is "I don't care to try"
We are the future of the world
A generation's voice
Is stifled by choice
And no one cares to notice
[chorus]
[bridge]
Silence constricts my chest
Defiance is my guest
I refuse to just stand by
My generation's bent
On being innocent
Of caring for the world we live in
Caring about how we're living
Caring about anything at all
[chorus]
