Lyrics

[00:00.000]
[00:13.361] I woke on the floor of Jake's apartment,
[00:20.793] on the last night of a three month tour.
[00:29.890] The room was asleep, but we wouldn't speak anyway.
[00:40.478] I knew what you'd say.
[00:45.227] So I laid on my back and traced the cracks in the ceiling
[00:52.643] and hoped that it would collapse
[01:01.583] and put and end to everything.
[01:05.387] I need this day to end before it puts an end to me.
[01:11.576]
[01:16.687] You'll get what you earn,
[01:21.383] when you're just the fog that the dawn of reality burned.
[01:29.137] And you're already gone.
[01:34.900]
[01:40.555] I woke on the floor and when I turned to find you
[01:49.118] you were already out the door.
[01:57.951] You said,
[02:00.309] "I can never be free,
[02:03.361] I need last year back it holds the best of me."
[02:08.219]
[02:14.434] You'll get what you earn,
[02:19.595] when you're just the fog that the dawn of reality burned.
[02:30.318] So read it in smoke and all those foul words on which I saw you choke
[02:43.374] when you couldn't even believe yourself.
[02:47.077]
[02:47.373] You are no friend.
[02:48.963] You are no foe.
[02:51.181] You're just another name I should have never known.
[03:02.456]
[03:11.356] You were my brother, you were my heart,
[03:15.026] but some stories burn so others can start.
[03:18.788] The past is all ash and that's where it should stay,
[03:22.789] locked in a box full of yesterdays
[03:26.947] and you can hold it tight, and you can keep it close,
[03:30.514] but that is no place that you should call home.
[03:34.517] Progress is key
[03:36.700] so take what you earn
[03:38.664] when some stories start and
[03:40.966]
[03:41.266] Some stories burn.
