better off

And just when you thought
That you hit rock bottom
The stone turns to sand
Just like leaves turn in autumn
Recluse you slip away again
Draw into your own skin
Nothing but a body of suffering
Masked behind a grin
Your eyes fool the masses
Two shields thwart a leer
For it is what lies behind them
That you truly fear
Your front is so friendly
Your actions speak otherwise
Reinvent the word liar
To disband all your lies
So much like the stone
That disbands into sand
Your world as you knew it
Is all in their hands
For they chose for you
Because you chose to let them
And now you realize
You were better off

no name

It was just another lackluster evening
So we decided to skip town
These faces begin to blend together
These places they turn to black and white
No direction, no plan of telling
Anyone about anything tonight

This night is our own as we lie
Between the sand and the stars
Ocean side, the soundtrack to
Words turning into motion
And explosions in the sky
Rain down upon us

We use each others skins
As blankets to keep us warm
You watched me go through the motions
Of another restive night
But no terrors can outweigh
The freedom that your still presence brings

This night is our own as we lie
Between the sand and the stars
Ocean side, the soundtrack to
Words turning into motion
And explosions in the sky
Rain down upon us

And just before the sun
Others began to arrive
The sandman circled around
No one had a clue
And we laughed

This night is our own as we lie
Between the sand and the stars
Ocean side, the soundtrack to
Words turning into motion
And explosions in the sky
Rain down upon us
