lyrics

After the taillights fade away to shades of black and smoky gray
The embers burned into the carpet after the smell of daylight quit
The cracks in the floorboard were made today and I listened to muted calls all day
After the ash tray blew away; strong northern winds versus hollow clay
Pissing on ivy, charcoal, porches, daylight breaks with no more warnings
With all these blood spots on tiled floors I don’t know what to believe anymore

Cat tails, black, and crabgrass, brown- I don’t know when all this came to town
I’d swear on all my sleepless nights if waking up most days wasn't a fight
I’d swear on hectic, empty days, if I could get a moment to break away
I swear I won’t sleep well tonight, covered in candle wax, all my fears in sight

And I can’t do this anymore
No I can’t stand up straight anymore

After I tried to lock the door, the hinges stuck to this torn up floor
The liquor cabinet’s locked tonight- all I hope is that we’re all right
I’ve left the light on to get things done and let all sets of neighbors reign destruction
Tonight this bed is finally warm but with these violent winds, my heart is a storm

And I can’t do this anymore
No I can’t stand up straight anymore

Well I can’t move and I can’t sleep
These dirty bones trapped in between the sheets
I’m longing for a sense of home
This fragile roof- it can’t support its own

And I can’t do this anymore
No I can’t stand up straight anymore

And when you finish it, you put on some slides, drive three blocks to a mini mart, and buy more. But then you feel bad you didn't walk, cuz it was only three blocks. You then pass out on the couch and all the ice cream melts ... more
