Wrote these words down four years ago,
and sang them so many times
they don't make fucking sense anymore
Or add up at all--
Like closed captioned lines on a TV show
in my dentist's waiting room
where I go to get a tooth pulled.
I'd say the rot's still the same.
Sang about too many morning times.
I think I named too many streets.
And relied on the pronoun "you."
Always relied too much on you.
Made it home after the sunrise for the first time in a lifetime.
And it's a bright day.
Dreaming I crashed my car for fun,
Trying to make it off the 101 and back home to you.
Back when I had a home with you.
Now I live in a crack den.
Pray for some art on the walls and some sheets that aren't dark grey.
And a little fucking heat.
But that pilot burnt out years ago,
So I'll just wait for the sun,
and hope it's a bright day.
Buried beneath my sunglasses,
If you can't see me, you can't touch me.
And nobody's hopeless.
But nobody's happy.
Nobody wins.
Hit my bed before the sunrise,
for the first time in forever.
I can't sleep.
Because it's a bright day.

Will somehow managed to make it sound like the band was playing in an empty bar. Maybe that's what they were going for? (I wouldn't be surprised) luna_m
