The rain glistens against the pavement,
as the sunrise turns into a blinding sunset.
There's so much left unsaid in our words,
and I'm falling apart to songs about regret.
Guilt and hopelessness weigh me down,
they're suffocating me in a little too deep,
and I'm trying to swim towards the surface,
but I can't concentrate on anything but sleep.
Lies and mistakes are covering up this life,
they cover me like a sugar-flavored coat;
causing screams to escape through smiles,
and keeping me from just staying afloat.
And God, I need to take a look at reality,
but I can't distinguish what seems to be real.
So I stand here in an ocean over my head,
admist in all of this old, backyard rubble.
