Some Live Their Lives
Her Bright Skies · A Sacrament, Ill City [2008]
this nightmare finally came true
we're too young to be alone
as you sucked the life from this world
how about spending new years in a hospital bed
and just a single smile would take me miles away
put out the lights
there's nothing more to see
(emergency!)
we sit around for hours
(emergency!)
waiting impatiently
they say you're sleeping
that you'll be waking up soon
but it's all to clear to me
and this time I won't hold my breath
and I'm not holding my breath
you lie when you whisper
you whisper when you lie
liar
waiting and waiting
this is killing me too
I can see the fireworks
and I just want to tear them down
