there is not a chance today
I can turn things around and start again
take away all the pain, move away to a new city
it seems like I'm too deep in the centre of this Hotel Hell
buried underneath the things I can't forget
I cut my nose off to spike my face, another missing person case
domesticated and pretending I'm dead
everything is complicated, happiness is overrated
all I've ever known is the sadness I live in
I adore the war we live in
so I treasure the memories of my best friends like souvenirs
hands filled with angel tears
yesterday when the sun was out I made myself a noose
the sky was blue and my eyes were filled with wonder
we're worlds apart, but I feel you here with me
and I hope you know I still think about you all the time
like flowers blooming in my mind
losing contact with reality
everything you do reminds me of someone I knew
boys with broken hearts
wiping the dust from the fireplace as I clean out your room
real quiet in my dreaming
our love was a secret, but I don't see the problem with it
how love ruined a good thing
fast car in the blue lights of the night
you take out another loan just to pay the debt and that's a sin
this time I mean it, I'm done hearing the same thing
I tried to wash you away but like a stain you're indelible
the sunflower on the painting
shining like a mirror ball in El Dorado
kids these days, depressed at parties
knowing is sleeping like a wolf, kids these days
you break the rules and think you're cool
but it's Communist suicide
another day of strife, dying in verse
the power of love was never enough
swimming in years of self-hatred
kids these days, I'm sick of your maladies
I see you being unafraid and that's priceless
it's true when they say there's bliss in ignorance
and when the house is on fire, your father becomes a terrorist
World Betrayal, I hate kids these days
with perfect lives and nothing to worry about, do good
take the lid off and overflow
like the doppelganger at the end of the movie
I put on the radio and watch the stars.
