The Sun Is A Lightbulb

The curtains stay closed now

On my little retreat

My head beats a better way

Tomorrow a better day

How is your life today ?

Each second seems like a lifetime..

And the cat it's been staring at me all this time.

And I have tried and I have died

Trying to get through

But in the end I can't defend you.

She changes every time you look

By summer it was all gone - now she's moved on

She called you every other day

So savour it it's all gone - now she's moved on

After all the time I spent with you

Summer went away

And we just weren't the same

It's just you and me alone

Not grown ups but not kids

You kissed me on the lips

I was pretending to be floating strong

But I was sinking

In to still water

One simple thing that I never could see

But now I know

All of the rest will flow..

It's a lonely life in my empty bed

And it's a quiet life that leaks from my head

These are the last rites

The line is dead.

Tied to a time

When we knew that the sun would shine

And you were all smiles

And we could just talk for a while

Of where we would be when the future comes..

Strange how you never become

The person you see when you're young…

You think I deserve this?

You said I was stupid.

All my thoughts are like coal...

Can't stop myself drinking...

Can't stop being me...

Nothing melts in this cold.

If I call will you come and will you... save me?

So see how long I can last

You can pretend that I don't exist for you

And I can laugh about it now

But I hated every minute..

We made the world believe we didn't care..

Standing next to you I disappear.

I erase myself again...

In your shadow I disappear..
