ALL GUITARS, DRUMS, VOCALS, PERCUSSION, KEYS BY RUSS

lyrics

THERE I STOOD ON THE LONG RIDE UP
LAST DITCH EFFORTS SCRAWLED DESPERATELY
ONTO AN ELEVATOR WALL
FOR THE LAST TIME LIVING TOTALLY
MAKING WAVES AND SHEDDING SKIN
AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF SODIUM
MIXED IN WITH SOME CIGARETTE SMOKE
AND STALE BREATH FROM ALL LAST NIGHT’S BAD JOKES

HOLDING ON TO SENTIMENT
WILLING CLOCKS TO REVERSE THEMSELVES
LIVING IN ALL THOSE YESTERDAYS
AND KNOWING THAT I’LL NEVER LIVE AGAIN
THE CARPET STAINS AND YELLOWED WALLS
HOUSED ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF ME
I GET SO TIRED OF DREAMING NOW
THAT I CAN’T EVEN FALL ASLEEP…NO MORE

THE EMPTY BOTTLE COMING BACK
ALL THESE ALARM CLOCK CATASTROPHIES
ASPIRIN AND ASPARTAME
THEY’RE ALL A PART OF MOVING ON AGAIN
AND OH THE LIFE WE WERE LIVING,
WAS DOOMED SINCE IT’S CONCEPTION
KNEW IT ALL ALONG BUT WE
CHOSE TO LIVE IT ANYWAY

AS I DRIFTED FURTHER I RECALLED ALL THE LONGEST NIGHTS WHEN WE SPOKE UNTIL OUR THROATS GOT SO TIRED OF MAKING SOUNDS
I AWOKE IN ANOTHER STATE: RED-FACED AND BLOODY-EYED.
I STOOD NAKED JUST HOURS BEFORE A LONG LIFE AND AN EVEN LONGER FLIGHT…

SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA LET IT GO
SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA SAY GOODBYE

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
