lyrics

i used you like water wings
i was a flash in the pan, a side effect of your friendliness
i still taste your skin

you gave me buoyancy
but the thinning of air as a result of the changing speeds
in the things that make up everything
allowed me to sink in austere confusion

i had a practice going, but the last few months just took their toll
it was enough to steal my sense of clarity
there never was an efficient way to crack your code and truly learn
so all the lessons will remain, i still
wander in loneliness with my anger hanging like the anchor that i was for you

now the sun sets east and when i get to sleep i have no fucking dreams
there was a door that i passed through before, but someone's changed the keys

and i have come to believe that no one can suspend their judgements
i wont try, i just keep in mind what i need so my life's not a lie
that sounds good, but good is just a word
that i've defined, and the same thing goes with lie

this is my intention when i write these songs talking like this
that they'll help some one identify with the things they cannot control
but that isn't to say that they never will, though it's possible
maybe i sound like a selfish prick

i think image is a small thing to sacrifice, especially in the light
of all that could change, fuck the feelings that you say i made you feel
