Central Standard

(album: Collapser - 2009)

You had enough so you moved out
To find what the world's about
Then you hit 21 years old

Something snapped
And now all of your stories don't make much sense
Losing touch
With your job, your school, parents, where are your friends?

Static grew and somehow faces end up black and blue
You got me outta bed for what?
Watch you getting drunk and yelling fuck 'em all
The fall it flew in and fell on you
Flood the room with wine, you float across the floor
The war spilled out I'm wading through
Talk about the kid who took the window down
And found a snow bank, broken man
I wonder if he thinks he shoulda took the stairs?
Aware, some are playing with raw hands

No there's no reason to doubt
These chemicals won't balance out
You got a hungry lonely look
All your intentions get mistook
I grabbed your collar hard and shook

Scratch if off, kinda like the tattoos we'd rub on in school
Staying close, 'cause I know in your head self-destruction's cool

So late, I'd offer to buy, I know you won't take
Minds get corrupted; it's too hard to talk
Stay here much more, we'll get outlined in chalk
I say "I'll call a cab", you say "I'll walk"
How'd another year turn out so bad?
