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 $#&@ing 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
