The Transit War

Right now all the walls are growing taller
And the background is dressing up in white
How'd things come to this?
If you look up from under water
You'll see yourself touching at the knee
Scratch your back until you bleed
Right now as the medicine begins to really meltdown
Let the pillow take the blame
A black laugh day in the rain
So drink down and let your fill up with water
And a sick sound ringing in your ears
But don't you say one word
Just come on over to the better side
Where we can get it wrong until we're right

The postcards we've seen of the west coast
Make it seem like its so warm but its not in the real world
We spent three days on a greyhound
It's funny how the grey ground turns from black to brighter green
And I am the reason she is the need
We are each other worst enemies
You can see it in her face
And then we said it to ourselves
Our sun burns just as bright in Boston
Our nights are just as good for nothing
Our girls are beautiful and gracious
Our boys fight 50 years of curses
The sides of this couch are worn down
But its better then the cold ground
Forsaken gravity years from now
We'll be so proud we took our lives and we rolled out
And got the fuck out of this town

Mayday our sights are all wrong
And I think we're going down
Your coming in loud and clear
About twenty feet from ground
But it's to late to bail out softly now
I can't believe this is happening to me now
Maybe our sights we're all wrong but I know we're going down
Let's burn these bridging together and enjoy disaster
Cause I think we're fallen apart
Let's burn these bridges and think of it after

Drawing clouds out of thin air
On our knees we're always there
Say goodnight now turn the lights down into which we'll be reunited

With kerosene I think I'm gonna torture her tonight
And all the words that she wrote down were written off and torn out of my spine
Just to spite what we once were
Crease the pages close the curtains
Put your hands all over me
Yeah write those ugly words or pack your bags and run away
You were always good for that
With memories I think I'm gonna torture her tonight
All the words that she wrote down with cut her up send shivers down her spine
If you fly away across the sea fill me out a postcard there
But don't send it roaming back to me
There's a better place for words to be
Dig a hole a keep them there
The place where you can bury me

The smoke is filling the hallway
And lungs are beginning to burn
But there will be better days
When all you've lost is everything
And nothing means everything to you
I hope you pull through
Save me will you save me from this
We'll be outside having fun alone
And no where The message we create
And your answers they always come to late
We're hoping for the best
Your optimism is fading
And it looks like there's no where to turn to
Just remember
