New Frontiers In Loneliness: Singles Part Two

by Crushdepth

/
1.
Late afternoon on Howitzer Hill The guns are silent, their war is over Their purpose is fulfilled By a green valley, with room to run I can't resent it, for all its comfort No one here's having fun And in dead languages I speak to you all day You would like me if you could miss me But I just won't go away What a day to feel alive and almost human What a night to pretend I know what I'm doing I know just what I'm doing Can we just pretend it's all an amusement park? The smell of sunscreen and fried food, I'm tired before dark And when it comes the time to turn the page on the year Will we want to remember, or keep a souvenir? It wasn't a time to cover ourselves in glory But it's not for nothing that I became someone in your story

Take me to the water and leave me there I'll find my own way home To do what I came here to tonight I have to be alone I have to take my time, I have to spend the night I have to learn to forget and see it clear by firelight Because nothing hurts like happiness I feel I haven't earned Teach me some sad lesson that I'm sure I haven't learned I'm sure I haven't learned I haven't learned I'm sure Take me to the party, when you can Let it be a better year There we'll stand with hands entwined And welcome in the fear I have to take my time, I have to spend the night I have to learn to forget and see it clear by candlelight Take me to the water Take me to the party Take me anywhere And take me home

I set out to write a ballad But the feeling didn't last In here I'm the star, I'm the A&R I'm the producer behind the glass Shower and shave every day And I try to clear my head I look neat and oh so complete But I still feel like an unmade bed Are you still there? Are you still there? Are you still there? I know you think I don't but I still care Are you still there? Are you still there? Are you still there? And if you've gone can you tell me where Well I guess it's natural Sometimes I want to disappear I'll leave my phone, walk away from home And it'll be like I was never here How long will it take them To find out that I've fled? How long would the look for me Before they gave me up for dead? I don't want to do this anymore I don't want to do this anymore I don't want to do this anymore But it's not like I have a choice I can't just go back to before

Push the boat away from the dock Till now it was better that that door stay locked The mood around here has really dropped It started on the day that the old clock stopped I haven't dreamt about it for a long time now I used to like that and I'd go back if I only knew how Write a story down through the years All filled up with metaphorical tears It's good to see it all written down It'll speak for me if I ever skip town Finally did what you asked me to, aren't you proud? Check the work for the answers, I never say these things out loud Write it down on paper and set it alight Nothing more to say about it now, so wherever you are, goodnight Scream into a hole in the ground Bury it and don't turn around I'm sorry if I never explain I just thought it was true because it only caused pain I've stopped my progress at every turn But if I can't forgive myself now, then I'll never learn
