suffocate

The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the Sun shining in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the freeway

The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear you with your voice ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep...

i don't like this position.
i didn't ask to play this part.
the words you say to me, are actually meant for someone else.
and in all the lullabyes i sang,
that was the word i couldn't make out.

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line

Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day,...

You've got this new head filled up with smoke.
And I've got my veins all tangled close.
To the jukebox bars you frequent.
They're the safest place to hide.
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness.
You start shaking at the thought you are everything I want.
'Cause you are everything I'm not.

I have. I have you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)
I don't. Don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition so
I'll wait. I'll wait for the ambulance to come. An ambulance to come.
Pick us up off the floor.
What did you possibly expect under this condition so

Slow down.. this night's a perfect shade of dark blue.
Have...

Hello six pack of confidence
Been so many nights
since we first met
Glad to see you've brought
all your friends
For another night of
plastic cup politics

Hello Mr. Six Pack of confidence
I'm glad to see you've already met
Ms. Twelve ounces of loneliness
And Mr. Plastic cup politics
I see you're under the influence
Of warm beer and the comfort of
all...

Please understand this isn't just goodbye.
This i can't stand you.
This is where the road crashed into the ocean.
It rises all around me.
Now we're barely breathing.
A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore.

I'll curse my enemies forever.
Lets slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful.
This desperation leaves me over-joyed
With fading lights that lead us pass the lives that...
