lyrics

"Dear Life"
by: Empty Moon

save your breath
cause it’s all you really have
ever wonder why
things changed over night
smokey lungs
never needed any love
from anyone
just a bum needing a ride
brace yourself
cause it’s a long tunnel slide
hold on to the sides for dear life
mr. know it all
I bet you know which way you fall
down in the gutter
you think that’s cool?
surrounded by fools
not fooling anyone but you
strangers eyes
blank sad and angry pass me by
try to hide whatever is in mine
she said “keep in mind
that you’re not from this place
everything changed
when they drained the trash out of the lake”
well that’s a old mistake
history is not some friend you made
playing charades in you crazy college days
it’s a razor blade
and all the cuts it made
they fade
still ghosts chase you around
the graveyard in yourself
and what do you say now
about your home town
raised in the suburbs
where all the lovers
become worried mothers
and bored to death fathers
but the trees still turn colors, baby
bright orange and yellow fading
a million reasons you wanted to move
said you wouldn't miss the seasons
but now you do
