Burnouts Are For Kids
This one was mostly done but I wrote a few lines for Roi tonite. It's almost like I wrote this for him in advance (I've been working on it for a month now), and it's kind of eerie. And now it's finished-- the music goes with "New Song" on my music myspace profile.
Breakdown
When he’s sitting right beside you
Can’t you tell you’re still alone?
But can you seek your path without him
If he’s still clinging to your bones?
You long for him to be here
While you’re gazing into the mist
And then you feel him disappear
Like that last lingering kiss
You tried to not be noticed
For so long you lost yourself
It wasn’t so much living
As it was drowning without help
You credit him with saving you
And pulling things together
But now there’s nothing you can do
Feeling more invisible than ever
You know it’s better to leave than to be left
The curtain falls and we are all left wondering
How to make it when we’re feeling bereft
But listen closely and you’ll hear him playing
Cold floods heavy over you
Knocks you flat and steals your breath
The fog that shrouds your figure
Is as good as icy death
What hope you held for his return
Was no match for fate’s grand plan
So watch now as the memories burn
Inside the flames you fan
Sometimes you’re crazy and they say that’s okay
Lose your mind and they take pity on you
Another breakdown on another long day
Come to find that there is nothing you can do
