The Alkaline Trio lyrics

take your wings outside, you can't fly in here.
besides, a purple sky is better soaring for you my angel.
you're angel, you little devil.
as for me i'll stay inside i'll be just fine and i'll watch from the window.

cannot categorize the nature of this sickness.
a miracle that you're alive, stuck to the roof of my mouth with a staple.
remember last april when we saw u.s. maple?

today i woke up, younger than i've been in years.
not concerned with what's outside and peers,
i don't have any.
no one is my equal because i'm the king of rain.
controlling with my mood swings, threw a thunderstorm your way
drowning girls is a game i play.

today i woke up, more awake than i have felt in years.
not concerned with anything, no tears,
i'm done with that shit.

You came to me like a dream

The kind that always leaves

Just as the best part starts

It ends so abruptly

And leaves you stunned and naked
In your bedroom all alone

It's kinda funny how something so soothing

Gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone

And you broke me like the cigarette

That I busted on the day I quit

But now that i've been drinking

well, it's not fair, it's not even close.
you tied me down,
where i'm forced to watch as you poke holes in every part of me
containing something secretly.
something sacred to me.
i lied my face off when i said that i would be okay,
it's never fine when you go away.
these cuts run deep, these scars are permanent, and always on display.
this makes things difficult for me.

I dont care who you've been sleeping with these days
You're outta my hair
It's growing just above my smiling face that I wear
Every night I drink myself to sleep
Not thinking about you
Not thinking about anything at all

I don't care who you've been dining with these days
It's more than fair
Much rather be drinking anyways
With my friend Peter
Who lives so fucking far away

This time you've dug yourself an anchor
too heavy to move ahead with
Resembling a faker, charming snake oil tankers
Don't let them strike you down
I know that you wish I was dead
I know 'cause you told me last weekend
And Christmas has never felt colder
I've never felt colder
This time you've dug yourself an anchor
too heavy to move ahead with
Resembling a faker, charming snake oil tankers

I can't believe my heart's still pounding
I can't believe how close I came
And meanwhile heaven's falling
The fallen angels flown away
And that'll be me someday
With stolen wings and evil ways
Straight south with the keys to the pearly gates

Hard to believe my heart stopped pounding
Hard to believe I played this game
My worst nightmares became real

Sorry I'm late, I was out spoiling my liver, I couldn't wait..
the sun was up for far too long today,
and I cant see straight but the two of you look awfully pretty..
and I couldn't wait, been awake for far too long today...
and is it strong enough, to burn away the cooking wine?
and I'm just tired enough,
if I closed my eyes I'll sleep for days I'll sleep for days...

A right turn gone wrong
Nothing but the dust left to fill your lungs up
Have to choke and choke and choke
Reprecussion, what got us this form?
Facilitation for feeling listless
Reprecussion, what got us this form?
Facilitation for feeling listless
The son sits out in the sun
And that's when he calls 'father'
He realized a long time ago
He's never coming home, no

i couldn't hear a word you said
i couldn't hear at all
you talked until your tongue fell out
and then you talked some more

i knew if i turned (knew if i turned)
i'd turn away from you
i couldn't look back (i couldn't look back)

tell yourself we'll start again
tell yourself it's not the end
tell yourself it couldn't happen,
not this way
not today

You were like a toilet bowl at the end of the rainbow

Something like a pot of gold stuck under my pillow

Keeping me up at night you kept my head spinning

And wishing there were windows to throw you from
Throw you from

Day or night

Fuck if I know

Hard to tell with no fucking window

And sundials

What good are sundials once the sun is gone?

What are you good for?

Crack my head open on your kitchen floor
To prove to you that I have brains
Meanwhile tin men are led by little girls
Down golden roads that lead to nowhere

Fine time to fake a seizure
Feel your mouth on mine, you're saving me

Whatever happened to that silly dream you had
I want to make it real
I'd love to rub your back
Like a plane crash that never hits the ground
I fall in love with you

I've got it now, a thorn in my side the size of a Cadillac.
Drive it through, cause backin' up now would be next to impossible.
I had it all.
When I was with you I forgot about everything.
Eighteen months, eighteen months seems like fucking eternity...
but you'll be there, to dry my eyes when I breathe you in.
in ninety seven... in ninety seven.
