Wide Eyes

lyrics

the color of this day
is so painfully grey
its so bad that i think i might just stay inside
and sleep that pain away
i always say it's not the same

and i feel like a ghost
to all of the people who i seem to want to notice me the most
i say i think i can
i think im not, but i know
that all i really am is alone

on a bus headed south
i opened the window and tried to set free all of my doubt
but i saw the gulls rise up so still
on the wind against the clouds
i widened my eyes
and opened my mouth
i always try to speak my mind
but nonsense comes out

i could drive straight through the wrongs,
south providence,
past newport
down to long island
and still not see the rights
because its city names,
the borders drawn
and all this shit that i just cannot seem to understand
i will try
but when the bats begin to fly,
you are the only hope I'll find

i dont know why i drink
when im so god damned terrified of dying
and im sick of staying up so late
all i do is think
my mouth is dry
my body is weak

there is a deep scratch across the desk on which i write
so each time i try to put things down
my pen gets caught inside
so im sorry if this sounds a bit messed up
a jagged line was right in my way
im wastin my time
