Alkaline Trio Album

"Well I’ll sit here to convince myself its true
If you keep on telling your friends that we’re through
I got nothing here but loneliness
Holes in walls and bleeding fists
My head is pounding like a pillow
Like a big black song

My friends and I try to tell me you’re gone
Won’t listen to myself or anyone
You got on a plane and off you went
You’re never coming back again
I’m trying to convince myself it’s true
Convincing myself

I’ll be just fine without you (x3)
I’ll be here telling myself it’s true

Well I sit here to convince myself its true
If you keep on pretending to have no clue
That I’d kill for you and eat the flesh
Give you the heart and burn the rest
A thousand miles ain’t shit to walk
If I’m walking to hold you

I’ll be just fine without you (x3)
I’ll be here telling myself…
I’ll be just fine without you (x5)
I’ll be here telling myself it’s true"

Sit down and please make yourself comfortable
I might need some time to dance around what I need to say
I love you to death
I think I need a break

I spend my days worrying out loud
I gag in my head, I choke it back down
It hurts me inside to save you inside
So close my lips tight
Move eyes to the side

This is the way we disappear
It's easy if you burn out like a star
This is the way we disappear
It's easy like a 50-foot fall
I'm waiting for whatever bit of time
To admit these words that
That I’m planning in my mind
I’m hating every minute that I don’t speak aloud
Like when you lay it down
You lay it down
You lay it down

Relax on this bed of nails
On this plastic sheet
Your blood leaves a trail
Right back to me
A problem you see
Will you please allow a moment to think

This is the way we disappear
It's easy if you burn out like a star
This is the way we disappear
It's easy like a 50-foot fall
I'm waiting for whatever bit of time
To admit these words that
That I’m planning in my mind
I’m hating every minute that I don’t speak aloud
Like when you lay it down
You lay it down
You lay it down

a deep dark secret down at the bottom
but this bay can't keep it unforgotten
and a story that was told has now grown taller than we'd ever wish it to be
beyond belief...
i'll grab the boat if you go grab the anchor,
the tarp and twine and the weights that sank her
they weren't enough to look who showed up
a new light shed is shining through
illuminating you as we lay
side be side, dead and broken
our lives aren't the same since the night yours went stolen
blood ran black beneath the moonlight. your lover's blood ran cold
cutting off the hands he used to hold

you're on your own my little nightmare, you cannot stay here
it's far too bright for you. if they attack you just lay there,
play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through
and seconds they seem like a lifetime
a dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true
and they'll pin it all on you
after you've been put through
"saide g. she's crazy, see?"
that's what the white coats say
now ms. susan a. is losing
every opportunity to put us all away
you're on your own my little nightmare
your job is done here
you've scared them all to death
if they revive them just sit there
just smile dear. make them thankful for every breath
this sentence may seem like a lifetime,
a scream, that curdling
the blood they found on you
and your knives and clothing too
charlie's broken .22
well they found you
and they shipped you up the river
the same way
that you bound and gagged
you shot and stabbed
you tried to get them free
but they've thrown away the keys

If you had a bad time at one of my parties,
I wouldn't ecpect to be seeing you soon, and that's fine.
You have to know what and why those things make you happy,
You have to know that second guess ain't worth a try.
Just one word of advice, maybe you've heard them before but here goes

Just try be true to yourself if it lands you in hell,
well at least then you know
Loud and clear is your heart,
big and bright are the places you might someday go.
With one million things tying you down,
why you're one of those things I don't know.
No big deal, gotta go
If you're up to your ears in blood, sweat, and wasted years
Well i'm hoping you're going to open your throat and just scream.
You have to know who and why, which ones miss you when you die.
You have to know that a second guess ain't worth
the salt in your eyes.
Just try be true to yourself if it lands you in hell,
well at least then you know
Loud and clear is your heart,
big and bright are the places you might someday go.
With one million things tying you down,
why you're one of those things I don't know.

No big deal, it just site on my shoulders,
you're breaking my neck.
We get crazy with age
now you're under my bed
And it s dark
all the time

Just try be true to yourself if it lands you in hell,
well at least then you know
Loud and clear is your heart,
big and bright are the places you might someday go.
With one million things tying you down,
why you're one of those things I don't know.
No big deal, here I go

"Don’t you ask me to come out
When the sun does shine
Rather stay here with curtains drawn
In darkness you’ll be mine

Let’s wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let’s wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Well welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through
When darkness falls again my friend
We’ll both know what to do

Let’s wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let’s wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let’s wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Come walk with me upon the earth
It keeps us both alive
No other thing can last in here
Where we can both survive

Let’s wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let’s wait for the blackout
Wait for the night
Wait for the night

In darkness there is no sin
Light only brings in fear
Nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here

At first you may find it strange
But please don’t go away
There’s power in the nighttime
That you won’t find in the day

There is no vision here
There is no vision here
No vision here"
