lyrics

Clear the gap in the ceiling
Bed to bed, dead skin peeling
The rhyme was broken, a line from closed
Crossed out twice, unsaid and choked
Hold now let it go, cowards leading their chest bones
The rhyme was broken, a line from closed
Crossed out twice, unsaid and choked

I been building up your name with gold
So listen when it hits the ground
The feeling of being alone
You'll never know

For you I kneel on nails and never give a reaction
We all sign deals,
Some cash it in on the backs of the cast offs

The cool kids got you at thirty
Living owed, over earning
But worst of all, when you need a call
Who will be missing in the same song

How's life? What's new?
Nothing wrong here, how 'bout you?
Buried down, and glossed over, crack your neck and hold me closer.

I been waiting just to hear the quote
See how the eyes play off the mouth
Yeah, the feeling of being alone
You'll never know

I'm down and waiting out the fight
But I can't wait for too long
I could just close my eyes and give it back ten times

Have we not grown up since school?
Timid me and gutless you

Building up your name in gold
Listen when it hits the ground

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr
