lyrics

Ok

Do you remember?
Why do we still dream?
Picking up where we left off
Do you recall the signs of conversation in me?

Can you remind me?
Why do I still breathe?
Picking up where we left off
Know this is the last dull rehearsal for me
I think I'd rather leave

Movie quotes
You think that's bad?
Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad
Coulda been a contender
You don't understand

(Why don't you want me like I want you)
I hear it, there is
I feel it, no sound
I keep the search up for weeks
No answer's there to be found
(I'm feeling deja vu)
Bemoan the lack of control
Caucasity with a gun
Wish I could tell you the truth
But there's no speaking in tongues

Empty frame on your shelf
Fill in the blank, yes you're the picture of health

Cause, it's alright
It's alright
So long as you can say my name
Keep it in time
Living in denial
Oh, you can't imagine the pain

Do you remember?
Why do we still breathe?
Picking up where we left off
Yes, this is the last dull rehearsal for me
I think I'd rather leave

Some are like "where'd they go?"
Grasping as thoughts pass me by
I am truthful all the time
Wait, do you really think so?
Always, always
Writing stupid shit in a song
In the dictionary
Gullible is spelled slightly wrong

It's alright
It's alright
So long as you can say my name
Cause subtle lies
An obvious sign
Oh, you can't imagine the pain
And you're so sentimental
But I don't wanna
See your sad and mental side
Unclouded mind
Unconnected lines
I hope it would be easy

Feel the weight come off your skin
Oh, to be the surface exchange
Evaporate and start again
Missed the final thinking train
But darling, darling
Staple the appendages
Bits and phrases
Shallow quips for the attention id

It's alright
It's alright
So long as you can say my name
Keep it in time
Living in denial
Oh, you can't imagine the pain
And you're so sentimental
But I don't wanna
See your sad and mental side
Unclouded mind
Unconnected lines
I hope it would be easy
