FUNERAL DINER LYRICS

1. Syncope

For thousands of miles I waited for you I walked backwards through landmines but time changes everything I wished impossible things on blue stars that never came true I'm still waiting

2. Direct Hit

Can't make the pain stay forever days are gray and the sky is always within reach remember when the past was tomorrow don't burn or bury me push me away I'll fade can I have your nightmares don't know why this moment hasn't passed hollow tipped words through quick shallow breaths remember the day she passed away slip and fall shatter like glass this cruel existence misleads you everyday there is no tomorrow today wasn't supposed to be always looking to the past never saw the future coming I'd rather burn in the night then feel the false comfort of masked sincerity with broken promises and nightmares coming true signal the others let them come and see

3. Lackluster

this is from the sinkholes of the uninspired this is the result of the loss of luster on life and my unsteady hands reach forward for something luminescent to grasp but my begrudging feet move to carry me back to my blue collar veracity this is planned when we're born our lives are mapped you know the formula follow the herd I can't feel any gratification and I don't want to feel any passion or duress no one should have to experience the suffocation of their livelihood but we do and we build these prisons for ourselves be it children credit cards houses or whatever else we think we need we toil to support our own hells well I refuse to be part of a perpetual labor heartache

4. There Is No Today's Today, So There Will Be No Yesterday's Tomorrow

Enlightened by the storm that feeds the depression the play fell from our eyes build a confession laugh as the sky falls shadows within shadows you see it's not there remember the steep streets none were silent all were frayed I can't sleep in silence it's warm beneath the flames with my torn black sheet looking up to see the bottom too dark to see the gray flames in my hands my nightmares are in color build the towers to the skies I've died trying hide between the cinder blocks and loose gravel when did I become transparent fade in and out between the frequencies never asked to live forever hollow and unfair jump to see if you'll live the story has no ending it just finishes here released from reality and forced into dreams sleep well sleeper the liars wait for the morning then they'll come for you

5. I Wish I Could Do The Backstroke

out again humming that same monotony knowing yet again that familiar feeling that torn chance dream held together by just that little bit by that tiny spec of something promised can you see it yeah well maybe you'll reach it one day along with that calm pool because in this pool it's sink or swim but you're caught doing the dead man's float i wish i could give you something different but i'm lying in the water face down beside you

6. Chalk Angels

Safe inside still immortal my memories have no skies standing on chalk angels drawn in sidewalks building cities in dirt nothing ever made sense pressed up against the fence staring at the cars go by waiting for the bell to ring playing in the rain big yellow raincoats nothing could hurt me falling off the slide sliding on concrete skinned to the bone adventures in empty fields childhood was never long enough

7. Paper

Take the innocence free the children from their youth make them grow up before their time tell them about the uncertainly make them fear tomorrow give them the nightmares that wake you every night pour your soul onto theirs just children they all grow up they all fall down

8. Fire...deth

Take the innocence free the children from their youth make them grow up before their time tell them about the uncertainly make them fear tomorrow give them the nightmares that wake you every night pour your soul onto theirs just children they all grow up they all fall down
