lyrics

The words

That spew out your throat
Tend to hurt the ones around you

So cower and hide
You know it wasn't right
(What you said
Did you mean it?
What you said)

So sniff it up
Choke it down and suffocate

I live a lifetime per every dream
What happened to the night we spent watching lightning?
It just goes to show that you never know
What's happening behind the scene
Sometimes you don't need words at all...

The words you don't even bother to say
Speak volumes that what you really said couldn't reach
The words you never bothered to say
Are reflected by this porch light air

I swallow these words until I spit them up
Or until I take another hit, pour myself back up
And all I do is rant and rave
When reality becomes a fucking guessing game

But you're never around (But you're never around)
And you never want to be (And you never want to be)
But the way your green eyes set me on fire (But you're never around)
It makes me want to sit here and wait (And you never want to be)
