lyrics

Got through the weekend
No guilt trip, only regret
It eats silently away at me

I know you feel a duty to denounce rock ‘n roll
I remember singing hymns at Lucille’s funeral
My voice rang to her ashes, my mother’s fake lashes
Funny so concerned how you’re dressed
when someone’s been laid to rest

See past the surface
You’d be sick if you knew the poison I live in
The walls are black
Foundation cracked
Life I’ve never seen before crawls out from underneath the floor
Separate
Separate to break apart
Break apart to separate

Want to be more, do more, see more, live more, love more
Feel more, breathe more, sleep more, dream more, work more
Seize the opportunities that knock on my door

Not quite on empty, never close to full
But I still go drive with no money in my pocket
There’s a voyeur in my blood, I am an unbegotten son
Not a victim to my circumstance, I chose who I’ve become
(What have I become? Separate)
So sick of myself, can’t imagine how you felt
Empty bottles sifted through, I’ve been breaking bowls on lose
(Separate)
Maybe when I die, I can separate my mind
Stop searching through the trees for the song we never find
(Songs we never find)

I want to be sound of body, soul, and mind
I worry that I’ve been wasting too much time
That’s what happens when you watch someone close to you die
You pray to God that you see the sun rise
I’d be satisfied with a preview of the afterlife
I ache to feel alive, sufficient, not empty, green with envy
