motion city soundtrack's amazing lyrics off the new cd*
I am wrecked. I am overblown.
I am also fed up with the common cold.
But I just need to say goodbye
To all the metaphors and lies
That have taken me years to come up with.
Say it's true. Say you like me.
(I like you.)
Just for the night, for me, it's been eternity..
And as I gently sip this drink,
I think about my lack of future,
And of all the places I could learn to fall in love.
I know I shouldn't waste my time,
I should have been better designed,
Therefore, some things still break.
I am wrecked. I am overblown.
I am also fed up with the fucking common cold!
When I just want to feel alive for the first time in my life,
I just want to feel attractive today.
Tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Please tell me that you're alright,
That everything is alright.
Give me a reason to end this discussion,
To break with tradition, to fall and divide.
Because I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,
Talking with strangers, waiting in line..
I'm through with these pills that make me sit still.
"Are you feeling fine?"
Yes, I feel just fine.
Midwest love affair
I bend when I am bored
Late night liquor blue
Will lead me to the floor.
Can we fake it?
Can we make believe?
I'm so full of love
It deeply sickens me.
But all I could do was close my eyes
And cross my heart and hope to die
Cause you don't fucking listen
When I'm around.
The least you could do is take it back
All the vicious remarks and verbal attacks
Cause I can't fucking stand it.
When You're Around.
Midwest aftermath, the rumors start to rise
Did I truly do the things that you've described?
They must hate me, every single one
It just sickens them, what I consider fun.
And we feel like rain,
When the words all sound the same,
In the lifeless corners of this empty frame.
Though we feel let down,
On the table, hard of breathing,
winter's curse is just around the bend.
With our hands all tied,
to the craze of better signs
we are armed and ready to commit this crime.
We love that game but we never play
'cause we will lose and we wanna stay
the way we are
the way we've been for far too long.
They carved the message deep within our broken hearts that failed to mend:
Make out kids never had a chance to be best friends.
I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are.
We used to say that "you're just fine!"
But I still wonder all the time.
Let's get fucked up and die..
I'm speaking figuratively, of course..
Like the last time I committed suicide.. social suicide..
Yeah, so I'm already dead on the inside,
But I can still pretend with my memories and photographs,
I've learned to love the lie.
I wanna know what it's like to be awkward and innocent, not belligerent.
I wanna know how it feels to be useful and pertinent and have common sense.. yeah
Let me in, let me in to the club, cuz I wanna belong,
And I need to get strong, and if memory serves,
I'm addicted to words and they're useless
want to thank you for being a part of my the forget-me-nots and marigolds..
And all the things that don't get old..
Is it legal to do this? I surely don't know.
It's the only way I have learned to express myself around other peoples' descriptions of life..
I'm afraid I'm alone and entirely useless...
our hell ends every weekend but it's all i have to believe in.
i'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning
lackluster and full of contempts when it always ends the same
why won't you listen to me
I'm just a guy that never tried
I'm just a stupid fuck with brilliant luck
and sometimes a bright idea
So shower me in a chorus of compliments
and verse I don't deserve
I might run but I'll never hide
Hey, that's not right
you can't complain
"everything's gonna be just fine"
from the pen to the dotted line
If memory serves, then mark my words
this game's called "catch me if you can"
and finally will salute all our bitterness
Fed up with "made you look"
and dirty crooks without a clue
you're here to save face
and I say Hangman I'm on to you
I found a letter that said:
"I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words down,"
You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now.
Save for a few of those late night episodes,
Missed opportunities, and "I Don't Cares,"
There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about.
I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday to pick up my things,
Just make sure you're not there.
This may sound bad, and don't take it the wrong way..
I love you, however, you hold me down.
You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloomed..
How will I break the news to you?
<33333 amazing
