Searching
So far in the distance
Still far from resistance
I’m surrounded by all that you are
Believing
Or maybe I’m dreaming
I awake to the feeling
Never knowing if I’ve crossed the line
(Redline) Do I wait for a sign?
(Redline) Have you made up your mind?
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose the chance of you
Redline
Am I working on a deadline?
I been sitting here on a goldmine
Just afraid you’ll make me pay
(Don’t make me pay)
(Uh Oh Uh Oh) It’s just a redline
Certain
I’m so far from an answer
Should I come out and ask her?
Started in pursuit of happiness
Then came endless days of work for debt
As he looked up to the hypocrites
Heard the things they say but soon forget
Saw the sociopaths with their corporate cards
Blowing smokescreens with their liberal cause
Said he never would be one of them
Oh how slowly it crept into him
As it clouded up his conscience
He got caught up in the objects
Of G-R-E-E-D
Now a big fish in a bigger pond
Swimming with the sharks that brought him down
To the cesspool of his confidants
To the parties with the debutants
Blast the right-wing from his velvet tower
I want to tell you in my sleep that you inspire me
I want to paint you in a corner-colored gray
I want to argue make up over Kool-Aid
I want to meet you there and make you feel the same
What you do to me makes me think am I just one
What you do to me
You got a lot of things going on
Am I just one
I want to wake up with the dog at the doorjamb
I want to take you there and make sure you get home
It’s all fine if you divvy up give it up
Does this environment make you feel at home?
What you do to me makes me think am I just one
What you do to me makes me think
Expensive restaurants and cheap hotels
You can forget ‘til it makes no sense
Black black nights and promise rings
You can never get your mind back
Back to the way it was
When you were daylight for me
When the sky was so black you couldn’t see
Such a tiny star caught in a great big sea
You were daylight for me
Digital alarm clocks that crawl inside my ears
It’s a cold day in any city
Seems shit is hitting a big fan in the sky
And the war is only beginning
You’re still afraid of the dark
But you were daylight for me
When the sky was so black you couldn’t see
No more light so get used to the dark
Spend some time with the hurt that’s in your heart
Been sitting here many times before
You don’t need the key when you’ve broken down the door
But is it love and happiness
Or another hopeless little accident
Love can be too hard on your brain
Let it close your eyes for you and you’ll never see the same
Put a scar on your heart
It’s hard to change
Scar on your heart
You stayed clear for a number of years
You don’t face the facts and you never face your fears
If you fill your head up with history
Warsaw in winter
Flowery graves
Can you still hear them
Whisper your name
Afraid of the cold spots
Caught in the tree tops
Love is a dogfight
You’re losing your shelf life
I can’t crawl out of this space
Hours fade without a trace
All of you listening
To forfeited years
Forget what they taught you
Open your ears
All of the great ones
Asleep with the warm guns
Love is a dog bite
You’re losing your shelf life
Chorus
I’ll take a walk I shouldn’t take
I’ll try to speak like a friend
Or a man who’s had to much to drink
Or who’s not afraid to sink in
I’ll take my time up the stairs
Dangerously nice atmosphere
I shouldn’t stay here but I’ll have to see
While I’m living life for me dear
I’m feeling so outside
You make me think
You make me weak
You challenge me with love and you’re right
When you say that I don’t give you enough
‘Cause I save you for Virginia
Chorus
Virginia is for lovers
Fiction almost always made more sense to me
Snowflakes are the souls you’d never save
Faith is not a habit forming vice you bet
Luck is when you’re glad it never came
(Chorus)
When you get tired of kicking stones
Those broken bones will lead the way home
So many same days beginning to breathe strange
And have you the right to complain at all
Figured out there would be doubt it brought you here
Watch the time and slowly climb the stairs
Truth is just a word for what you want to believe
Facts are off-white politics are gray
When you get tired of kicking stones
Slow days
Like the grind was made to break you
But there’s a love that’s waiting at home
And it’s cold outside
But the wind can never break you
‘Cause the heart inside
Is warm enough to keep from feeling down
When you’re around
And we’ll all be well dressed tonight
And you know you feel all right
‘Cause you got love you got love you got love
It seems as though
Her heart could overtake you
But you’re still finding your own
You can’t sleep sometimes
You get so tired of dreaming
And you’re strung so high
You lie awake to overanalyze blue skies
