On Margins Of Old Books Lyrics

Scenes flashing into fading views...

Sometimes nothing is the best news

All that's left is nothing but this sentiment

Of cutting ties and losing touch

And I can hold my liquor

Like a fishnet that holds water

I'm taking giant steps in circles

The lack of wind won't help my sailboat drifting

So tired of being tired but I'm not sinking

THIS TOWN IS DEAD

BUT I'm NOT READY TO DIE JUST YET

BURNING EYES LIGHT UP THE NIGHT (BURNING EYES OUR FAVORITE GUIDES)

LIKE DRUNKEN FIREFLIES IN FLIGHT

The lights are on but no one's home

And the sidewalk's been abandoned

This lack of change scares me to death

This place is f..cking poison

Winter overstayed last season and

Colder my bones have never before been

THIS TOWN IS DEAD

BUT I'm NOT READY TO DIE JUST YET

BROKEN HEARTS WILL MEND IN TIME (TEARING EYES HAVE FAILED TO CRY)

SLEEP IT OFF TO REIGNITE

Tonight I walked these friendly streets

And came to realize everything

I've got this fire inside me

Your words cut deeper than you know

When we just needed time to grow

THIS TOWN IS DEAD

BUT I'm NOT READY TO DIE JUST YET

HOPEFUL SOULS, YET SHALLOW MINDS (SEND ME WINGS SO I CAN FLY)

I'LL KICK MYSELF IF I DON'T TRY
