“Because It’s Easier To Fade Away When It’s Dark”
Ever feel like everyone will give up on you?
The world’s back has been turned for awhile
So it seems
When painted pictures lose the color
The lights of this lonely town become mundane
Ever feel like you’re numb to yourself
Maybe you’ve turned your back on the world
I’ve pricked my skin one too many times
To make sure I was a live
I had hope in us that brought me a vivid sight
I learn that these imperfections I obsess over
Have muffled out your phone call
Like water in my ears as I drown in the tub
An unfinished project, and unwrapped present
How long till the life of me wastes away
How long will I let it rot?
There was once so much to give
And that night we battled to the victor
Went the spoils
Somewhere in that pale moon
I made a house of my own and uninvited the world
And watched my black and white photos
And took a needle to my heart
And blew the lights out on the town
And admitted defeat in this battle
What have I left?
Nothing but the scars of surgery
My cottage on the moon
And abandonment of the world
You reap what you sow
You didn’t take the chance
And now you retreat for one last time
Drowning in a bath tub during a full moon
Ever feel like everyone will give up on you?
The world’s back has been turned for awhile
So it seems
When painted pictures lose the color
The lights of this lonely town become mundane
Ever feel like you’re numb to yourself
Maybe you’ve turned your back on the world
I’ve pricked my skin one too many times
To make sure I was a live
I had hope in us that brought me a vivid sight
I learn that these imperfections I obsess over
Have muffled out your phone call
Like water in my ears as I drown in the tub
An unfinished project, and unwrapped present
How long till the life of me wastes away
How long will I let it rot?
There was once so much to give
And that night we battled to the victor
Went the spoils
Somewhere in that pale moon
I made a house of my own and uninvited the world
And watched my black and white photos
And took a needle to my heart
And blew the lights out on the town
And admitted defeat in this battle
What have I left?
Nothing but the scars of surgery
My cottage on the moon
And abandonment of the world
You reap what you sow
You didn’t take the chance
And now you retreat for one last time
Drowning in a bath tub during a full moon
