Sidewalk Graves

(album: Closing Arguments - 2009)

And every other night is a night that I spend without you
I wonder what your mind is up to
I wonder what your mind is up against
And every other night the drinks get out of control
I wonder what your mind is up to
I wonder who your body's up against

I go out of my way
But you don't fucking notice
I'm up on the ledge now
You're bringing me down
Sidewalk graves
You don't even notice me fall
You don't even notice me fall

Leave all your baggage by the doorway
You know I can give you more when I get home next week
I don't need to know what time it is in L.A
Saying that I could use some sleep, some sleep

You call me two miles from the bus stop
We'll find what you need lying naked on your back
And I don't give a fuck to hear I've lost direction, no
Don't tell me that I could use some sleep, some sleep

There's only so far that a lie can go
When the other kids on the block all know
Girl, you push me so far, it's out of control

Never did care if it was over
Everybody meets your sister for a drink
And I've got names and I've heard rumors escalating, yeah
Don't tell me that I could use some sleep, some sleep

You make it a game of killing mockingbirds
And all of the corpses are down for sure
My mourning song's not something you've heard

I go out of my way
But you don't fucking notice
I'm up on the ledge now
You're bringing me down
Sidewalk graves
You don't even notice me fall
You don't even notice me fall

Now every single night is a night that I spend without you
I wonder what your mind is up to
I wonder what your mind is up against
And every single night the drinks get out of control
I wonder who your body's under
I'm under this influence

I go out of my way
But you don't fucking notice
I'm up on the ledge now
You're bringing me down
Sidewalk graves
You don't even notice me fall
You don't even notice me fall
You don't even notice at all
