Headphones in. Give this new record a spin. The needle drops. So does my heart. It’s heavier than Glassjaw and you know how I do. Head to toe I feel it all in my soul and I know how you do. I know just how you do.
These are the best songs of their whole career. But something’s just not sitting right in my ears. I can’t put my finger on it I just like their old stuff better.
This is the album of the year right here.
This is the album of the year.
Headphones out. Pretend to relate less than I really do. Cause’ really, every line reminds me of you, and you know how I do. Every line it cuts me like glass and I know how you do. I know just how you do.
This is the album of the year right here.
This is the album of the year.

What the hell’s been going on in your head lately? The warmth from your side of the bed’s been fading daily. I wouldn’t guess you’re on the fence, hope it’s a passing phase. Sincerely, me in a daze.
Every time, you cross my mind, I lose it just a little more.
It knocked the wind right out of me, I’m gasping in defense of my lungs. I’d kill to breath you in. You pulled the rugs, locked the door, shut me out, but won’t take back the keys. I’m hoping you find peace.
What burdens you, burdens me too
Stuck like glue.
I’m true, I’m true, I’m true.

So overcast. Dragged my feet across the wet concrete. Because to you, the things I say and do they carry very little weight.
I’m kicking rocks, digging myself a hole.
When I sing, I can tell you don’t feel a thing. When I smile, your eyes roll down to the tile.
Can’t get a grip, never found our footing. And I just do not hold a candle to your new life. And I’ve been burnt up on both sides.
I’m kicking rocks, I’ve dug myself quite the hole.
In the backyard. I lie down in open Earth. Getting used to the dirt.
I kicked rocks, and I buried myself.

Touch me with counterfeit fingertips and gaze upon me with those empty eyes. Singing lies, feed on fraudulent fears, and listen to me with those cold deaf ears. Nothing surprises me, anymore.
We’ve all got skeletons.
I wonder whose are worse.
Your closet is a goddamn graveyard.
And I’m in the back of the hearse.
Carry me with artificial arms and lie right through your tapered teeth.
I’ve shouldered this blame that just was not mine to gain. Half true, half dead, and hollowed out.
What could be worse?

I carried your overnight bag to your car. Held you tight, smiled, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Little did I, little did I know, that it would be the last time. Last time.
I missed you then, I miss you now.
When you can home, you never really came home.
It’s been a lot to process, promise honesty.
Break another one irreparably.
Claim, careless, collateral. Leave me lifeless. Like this.
Some things never change, but nothing feels the same. I lost it all frame by frame.
Stole my car and all my credit cards. You stole my heart.
