Listening to: heh...Finding Nemo on the TV behind me
Feeling: pathetic
You see the signs of a love that died and memories gone wrong
You reach around the world to find a place where you belong
The horror films of heartache have been playing all too loud
When you feel your soul has strayed, and sifted through the crowd
the caked on beauty of tv stars
is drowned in pints down at the bars
and all you feel is nothing, but nothing is it all
and all these years of nothing have set you up to fall.
The worn excuse of living is the truth in why we're giving
throw our lives away to madness and our skin begins to pale
Drama queens and stocky kings, the subjects of our story
the pages haunt the writer as he's tempted with the ale.
The story told on movie screens
mimics that of all the dreams
and all you feel is nothing, but nothing is it all
and all these years of nothing have set you up to fall.
When numbness is the passion that resides in everything
and crayon colored copies now are what we used to be
but pressures on the edges start to rip us at the seam
the lucid life of craving leaves a soul time to be free.
