Close my eyes and swallow
Figure out that I am not blind
Or broken eared
Just need to disappear (to get up out of here)
I know, by the look in your eyes it's time to go
We rub our legs like crickets
Kicking cans and stones
Make it electric
I've got to know I'm still alive
Tonight I want to make it real
Close my eyes feel it ride up my spine
Radiate out my limbs into air
Make it electric
I've got to know I'm still alive
Two knuckles gone, bitten from the thumb
Of the digit meant to keep us satisfied
So raise a glass, to those who finish last
And here's to us because got all night
Here's to you cause you take what you give
Make no excuses for the way we live
While we try to ignore and we try to pretend
Our conversation isn't so loaded
When you're done competing
We'll be waiting
When your heart stops beating
We'll be waiting right here
Count down the hours
And we will be waiting
Switch hands to the hand that can feed
We want more than memories
Ghosts love the way they please
But won't we all
You aren't the ones who fascinate us
Not enough time
To clear the smoke from your lies
There's the kid with the golden arm
He admits to the forest fire
That he started up from a lack of
Something better going on
Tell your friends it's a four alarm
Just a smoke screen, we're all liars
Better to stew in discontent
That to admit we're wrong
All motivations out to see
Our ideas die so quickly
This town has good hearts
Bad blood, emotional scars
Never getting to say
What you really want to say
We all lie so well
If misery loves company
And you seem to sleep
So much more soundly
To the song of other people's
Failures:.
Doctor, do you have a remedy?
This is not alright by me
Do you think that you have the trick?
For a city that's so spent and sick?
We all lie so well
Hello, I'm neurotic
Creating problems that don't exist
Don't believe me when I say it's alright
Let's go to my apartment
We'll pull the sheets up over our heads
Forget all reasons to go outside
Beats pulse, they're automatic
Locked inside of my apartment
Make confessions with the television on
I'm fine
See the strange boy talking to his shadow
He's got a secret to tell
His imaginary friend knows everything
Don't let him go out
He says they won't believe you
You don't know what you're talking about
Cause his eyes are always red, can't sleep at night
Doesn't feel like being positive all the time
Doesn't sit still, doesn't look well
Give him something, make it chemical chemical
You'll feel better when you cannot feel
See the strange girl talking to her shadow
She's got a secret to tell
Her imaginary friend knows everything
Don't let her go out
She says they won't believe you
You don't know what you're talking about
Doesn't sit still, doesn't look well
Give him something, make it chemical chemical
You'll get use to cranial niches
Smoothes out neuro-tramsmitted glitches
You'll feel better when you cannot feel
We'll have such a fabulous time
Almost imitate a normal life
You'll feel better when you cannot feel
I'm unfolding little scraps of paper
I'm dotting "I's" and crossing "T's"
Like a ghost you were the gardener
That snuck in and planted seed
Decay
Your world's acidic taste
I'm unfolding little scrap paper
But I'll pluck you like a dead bug from
My feet
No more voices on the radio
No more waiting by the telephone
Arrows aim to crack rib cages
But your venom's weak in my blood
Your poison scabs, coagulated
Your hardest try is never enough
Decay
Your world's acidic taste
I'm unfolding little scrap paper
But I'll pluck you like a dead bug from
My feet
This tooth is rotten, yank it out
Your words are cancer in my mouth
This captain's ship is going down
Nighttime's out security
The stars watch us like guardian angels
Skeletons of lives to come
Just frames to fill with living and dying
Signatures in permanent
We write our name like claiming a part of time
Layers of paint and fiberglass cover our world
We're in the foundation
This is what I give you
Rooftops with secret views
Fire escapes lead us to heaven
Train yards where we hide together
Nighttime's our security
The stars watch us like guardian angels
Takes these letters from an old sign
Now you've got your initials
It started in our basement
It started in our bedroom
Got it in the basement
Got it in the bedroom
Got it in the garage
Got it in on the rooftop
Burns the fire inside my head
It's revealing, fascinating
We got it, we set the motion
Now we have it in our hands
We're selfish with the new romance
What's ours is ours, and ours is secret
There's no point in explanation
If you don't know, then you won't know
Restless, fed up tough and clever
Wishing this would last forever
Is futile when, you know it won't
When you've finally throw up your hand
Poured your heart out, yet nothing stands
It seems out efforts are wasted
But yet it hasn't been in vain
Unfulfillment is killing you
Seems like no one shares the same view
We may have never met but
It might you who pulls me through
Stand up so I can see you
Shout out so I can heart you
Reach out so I can touch you
This is our emergency
Baby you don't have to be
A picture in a magazine
Sometimes you're to blind to see
Anything objectively
Just keep on doing your thing right now
Listen here take it from me
We're gonna do it differently
They'll follow when you start the lead
Strength in numbers is our key
Keep on doing your thing you do now
Don't forget that when you doubt
That anyone will care about
A thing you do and when you're lost
Someone else is always found
A thousand voices, are you listening?
The tiny spare that you create
It can inspire and duplicate
And soon it spreads from state
To state from Williamsburg to Silverlake
A thousand voices, are you listening?
