lyrics

My sister's alone in the living room and the T.V. is screaming from its pedestal. The static lays under all of the noise like that feeling you have but never will mention. And the prep-school kids are hiding beer in the woods and smoking behind the elementary school. They swear in silent meaning between the words that they say for a day where their veins are running hot with the truth.

And in bedrooms I will wait and in attics I will scream because I cannot become what I've attempted to be so what is the point?

To live with no purpose is all I'm destined to do and I will blow through this life completely unnoticed. So bury me beneath a plain headstone to be forgotten.

I've heard all these words I can say nothing new so I trap myself in this fucking room until the day my pen can write something true that can carry the weight I feel on my back.

So now I feel conceit, like what I feel means anything. So I'll let the chords drift on by and the tape roll on.

To get to a place better than this is all I can hope for where the sun is bright and fills the empty of my bones. Because I feel like I've read this book and I swear I know the story and I so desperately hope it can be rewritten.
