Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
This house is to silent, cold, sparse, we had our dreams of filling it to the brink with the next generation, too bad we had to awaken.
You're not gone like everyone thinks, you promised to never leave me.
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Back in happier times, I spent a lot of time (too much wasted) dreaming of us, you and me forever, I would of done anything, sacrificed anything. Those times are over and I cringe at my selfishness.
Some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
I used to dream about us being together for eternity and now I can't breathe when you're by my side. I hate how sad you look when I flinch when you're near.
Because though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
"Huh, oh you finished? I must of drifted off listening to your D rate horror story ''I know what film you saw last summer". I'll give you a real story, so my brother used to tell me this on Halloween years ago. Long ago before any of us were born, there was a newly wedded couple.
They were happy, until tragedy stuck….Hey! don't hog the schnapps."
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
I see you too much but not enough (never enough) I see shadows in the light and light in the dark and turn expecting you, but you're never there, I can't think. My heads chaotic screaming at me till I tear the locks from my scalp.
Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past
The house will go down with me, it is ours after all. The white singed, bloodied with soot, ruined like us. Envisioning the flames licking at me and us and the house, I get giddy. My dreams are yet again filled with good things .
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
If things had turned out differently and our dreams hadn't gone up in smoke, she would be the same age we were when we met. Do you remember that, playing in my back yard, your tree house. You used to protect me from everything and everyone. Where did you go, my love?
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
Apparently I'm lonely, depressed, in shock and to join you would be quitting the big old game most call life, at least that's what my therapist says, good ol' number 11, never could mind her own business. Nosy bat.
Because though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Everyone's whispering, staring, parents are removing their children from my vicinity.
Number 11 seems not only a nosy bitch, but one hell of a chatterbox.
I feel my mind crumbling yet again, I'm alone even more then I already was, what do I do?
You know I always hated gossip, love.
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Screaming and silence is the same mind numbing emptiness.
I admire you, lover. I hate both equally, why choose one, both works just as good.
You always were a contradiction.
Because though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Today's the day, its been a year since I've set my eyes upon you (the solid you).
Nobody shall needeth worry about not finding my resting place, simply follow the black billowing smoke until you find the lonely old house at the end of the gravel drive way and don't morn me, I'm still here, really.
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Because though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Because though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Because though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Because though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
I always said we'd be together forever, looks like eternities come at last.
