about

In the thick of the situation, where the feeling of sorrow starts to set in after the initial logical dismissal of the situation.

lyrics

So we sing
and we pray
and we preach
and we say
how things were
way back when
even though
way back then
Even now
don't believe
in the things
that I see
because here
here and now
you should stop
take a bow

Ooooo
Take a bow, ooooo

So I wander
the streets
placing both
of my feet
where I think
they should be
constricted
when I'm free
So I gaze
at the sky
when I laugh
wonder why
I'm still here
in this place
when I don't
want to stay

Oooooh
When I don't want to stay, ooooo

I breathe in
and I choke on the falsehoods the world has embedded on me
I'm waiting
for the time when someone can love me for beyond what they see
and I knew
that this was the last time you'd ever say that you loved me
But I drew one last breath before you left me for my best friend oo baby
mm

And I don't
want to sing
on lost love
when clearly
it's his loss
even still
I stay up
hoping he'll
change his mind
call me back
but I know
it's a fact that she's
better for him
so I stay
at a distance

Ooooo
At a distance, oooo

So I stare
at the wall
nothing plays
nothing falls
yet somehow
it is life
it is here
in this knife
No, that's wrong
it's not true
even if I
love you
I'm not dumb
enough for this
so I'll call where
my heart's always been

Ooooo
Where my heart's always been, oooo

I breathe in
and I choke on the falsehoods the world has embedded on me
I'm waiting
for the time when someone can love me for beyond what they see
and I know
that this was the last time you'd ever say that you loved me
But I drew one last breath before you left me for my best friend oo baby

Idle hands
prone to sin
or whatever
the bible says
So I take
my guitar
and I scream
and I charge
to nowhere
in particular
with no one
cause he's with her
I'm not fine
but I'll be okay
I'm strong enough
to live another day.

To live another
day
