lyrics

Autumn came, it killed the summer and in its wake froze all hope that was smoked away in summer's pipe dreams of street lamps, car rides, and empty houses. Now I'm waiting for the day we'll go to the ocean or sit in dark yellow rooms with no lies to distance me. And in my books piled high I will read their pleas; a silent will to make sense of this living.

Until I feel trapped in my fucking skin then I'll burn all these inked pages and stay up all night to drink until I can't feel anything.

And in these verses I sing I hope to change. For a city car ride and bright-light roads where I swear for the first time I know that I'm breathing. And in mirrors I'll look for that new face because I'll never become anything more than what I am right now - this is it.

So I'll walk through my days and count the weeks 'til the sun returns. I swear if I ever see it again that it be a goddamn miracle.

So I unplug the phones and lock the door; I'll scream until my sadness is just a memory. But I don't think that it'll ever end so I'll scream until I die.

I'm searching for bright lights and a sense of what I'm living for and if there's a point to anything at all. So take me to where the sun shines, where the rivers flow, where the grass grows high and let me look at all those bright lights.
