youre paving your flat face with make up to hide past mistakes
hiding behind a facade of delinquent times that you've misplaced
with more drunken splendor you flip the switch for another night out
 fifth's littered the front yard as you let your heart shout

"i'm not going to let me down,"
"i'm not going to let myself drown.."

but you've thrown yourself much too deep,
your limbs grow tired and your lungs breath weak.
head throbbing you fall farther into the sea,
the only thing to surface are your floating teeth.

youre painting your tired eyes with make up to hide past mistakes
relying on a facade of delinquent times that you've displaced.
with more whore born splendor you flip the switch for another night out
empty cans littered the front yard as your heart pouts
 
"i'm not going to let me down,"
"i'm not going to let myself drown."

but you've thrown yourself far too deep,
your body grows tired and your mind feels weak.
heart pounding you fall into a deep sleep,
the only thing to surface are your floating teeth.

i watched from afar and heard only the bouts,
between your heart and mind discussing all the doubt.
"will i ever find the truth of what i am?"
"or will i wash ashore and be covered in the sand?"

-------------------------------------------------------------

I've been singing threw the floorboards,
much like a ghost i haunt your hallways
--------------------------------------------------------------
if i could write the story over
i wouldn't feel like i am growing a year older
instead i'd still have your arms wrapped around my shoulders

oh sweet pea your love enthralls me
but in all honesty the limbo is so provoking
you seem a step closer but then five steps away
how come something so dynamic never finds real change

is it because everything is a day away?
or because the schedules push back with the new regret's i've made
i was always told i was a liar
but being honest always made things harder to say
like "i miss you" and "i'll call you by your full name"

it's the first sunny day I'd say and we're burning our troubles away in the crimson rays.
i felt a little sea sick but now i've caught your waves and i'm being swept away.
oh what bed's we've made and the paths we've paid,
will you still be laying here when the skies turn gray?
and when the rain fall washes our new found infatuations away?

I shouldn't peer into the future
but be content with the present.
But if you fade away
i can't help but picture the resentment.
It's too early to guess,
or even to take stabs at the clouds.
But if this whole thing blows over,
I'll just again be falling down.

it's the first day with a smile on my face i'd say, your auburn hair gleams in the crimson rays,
i felt a little sea sick but now i'm riding your waves and i'm so glad your sweeping me away
oh the obscene faces we've made and debt's we've paid.
i feel like you'll stay around when the skies are gray,
when the rail falls and washes our troubled thoughts away.
