Blue Jays

(album: Rogue Taxidermy - 2013)

Tonight I drink to you
For all the times we spent
And all the times we didn't get
And I'll meet you again
Blanketed in soil
Fossilized in photographs
Can't say it doesn't hurt
The beating second hand that tortures me
Cause you're not here
Cause you're not here

I'm too tired to eat
Too tired to breathe
Too tired to deal with all of these tragedies
But I'm too scared
I'm too scared
To sleep

So smear the dark circles that cradled my eyes
I fool myself to keep living this mundane life
With the flushed pigment and these fractured smiles
I'm just buying my time
Without you by my side
Without you by my side

I'm too tired to eat
Too tired to breathe
Too tired to deal with all of these tragedies
But I'm too scared
I'm too scared
To sleep

They say keep on moving
Oh keep on moving kid
But it's so hard moving
It's so hard moving it aches
Just keep on moving oh keep on moving

As the dead robins strung across the morning dew
The blue jays oh sing a sorrowful tune
I'll never stop missing you
I'll never stop loving you
