lyrics

You seem to be confused to why I'm acting this way
Distant like a job with a commute not worth the pay
and shady like the riverside where I go to hide from everything outside my mind.
Its just that these past couple days have been a blurry haze of shower steam and smoke pollen and rain and all the times I spoke about the same fucking things
and all the lines I wrote that dont mean anything
I'm victim of my own lack of scheme.

Fallen prey to the games they play
and to my views about as vague
as all the truths we learned as youths
but if we stray, our souls at stake.

Oh these eyes, these cold green eyes,
they disguise what was said.
Oh these hands, these hard calloused hands,
they demand what was owed.
Its too cold to go back home
the telephone was all alone.

And all the times that I bit my tongue
and all the times I wasn't having fun

We couldn't tell heaven from hell.
