Neverender

(album: The Second Stage Turbine Blade - 2002)

when you've gone about things all wrong
bury them here,
with the lifetime you would never regret
in savoring sleep,
what do you mean i toss
and turn everywhere?
i'll miss you when you're gone
in pretending that you meant
the world to me
with that you'd call me a liar
and in the making mistakes
you'll rest incomplete

(i'll be home) in graver mistakes dear mom and dad,
i write you in this letter (i'll be moving on) that states
when the new days begun (new days begun)
forget your son when he's out on his own

when the hand reads 7:30
and your night begins to sink
in the short but faster fall
anxious but calm retort
to a mirror that frames your face
baring the finest swell
when the day begins to break
like the tears that run across your cheek
stand straight and imagine you then
in the things and the way they could have been
when the thoughts they race across your chin
here in the Neverend

(i'll be home) in graver mistakes dear mom and dad,
i write you in this letter (i'll be moving on) that states scratched through
when the new days begun (new days begun)
forget your son when he's out on his own

point your gun in another direction
now that you've cried yourself to sleep
point your gun in another direction
now that you've cried yourself to sleep
here in there after the fire

(before you walk home) peace and figuring will he be home again?
(signal loss and stereo) with wide open windows will she be waiting for
(the sounds surround the overpass) with severed arm placement when the day's dark, old and dead
(a dead man against you) we'll write her a letter with long time passing

(i'll be home) in graver mistakes dear mom and dad,
i write you in this letter (i'll be moving on) that states
when the new days begun (new days begun)
don't forget son when he's out on his own

point your gun in another direction
now that you've cried yourself to sleep
point your gun in another direction
now that you've cried yourself to sleep
here in there after the fire
after the fire
(i'll be home to say i love you and i'll be moving on)

and I'll be bigger
and I'll be bigger
