Scenes flashing into fading views… Sometimes nothing is the best news
All that’s left is nothing but this sentiment Of cutting ties and losing touch And I can hold my liquor Like a fishnet that holds water I’m taking giant steps in circles
The lack of wind won’t help my sailboat drifting So tired of being tired but I’m not sinking
This town is dead But I’m not ready to die just yet Burning eyes light up the night (burning eyes our favorite guides) Like drunken fireflies in flight
The lights are on but no one’s home And the sidewalk’s been abandoned This lack of change scares me to death This place is fucking poison
Winter overstayed last season and Colder my bones have never before been
This town is dead But I’m not ready to die just yet Broken hearts will mend in time (tearing eyes have failed to cry) Sleep it off to reignite
Tonight I walked these friendly streets And came to realize everything I’ve got this fire inside me
Your words cut deeper than you know When we just needed time to grow
This town is dead But I’m not ready to die just yet Hopeful souls, yet shallow minds (send me wings so I can fly) I’ll kick myself if I don’t try
