No Country For Anyone

Let's be nothing. I heard it lasts forever. Let's be something. So we can do it all together.
I heard you had promises you couldn't keep. I couldn't help but notice those lies stained on your teeth.
Because right now I don't think I can follow you into the dark.
I am doing fine, I am doing alright.
Let me tell you, I don't like when you write awful letters like 'U' and 'I.' If I had dry eyes I'd find another way to cry.
I hate the way I punish myself for unsuspecting reasons, like for not getting better in the changing of the seasons.
I am doing fine, I am doing alright.

Let's Start A Band

Let's start a band, except no one will go to our shows because Tom says we'll blow the whole thing, just like you blew this whole thing way out of proportion. And I felt like I was complaining too much.
Let's start a life so everyone can see how perfect no two people can ever be together in light of the few who have forgotten how to light up the room, and think of each other the way I think of you.
Let's start a fight about something stupid like how to cut my dinner with your great-grandmother's knife and get all worked up about this really stupid, unimportant form of anger so everyone can see how ungrateful you can be.
I'm gonna put on your favorite song, so I can hear you sing, and everyone will sing oooooooooooooooo
Let's start a band. Let's start a life. Let's start a fight. Let's start a life.

The lights were on, but my appearance was off, and I was alone again for another 3-day weekend.
My alarm didn't go off to remind me that I was alone again for another 3-day weekend.
You were here first, and I'm just the worst for pulling you away.
What really matters most is how I got here. What really matters is how you've been, and how I don't deserve to live.
You say I "saved" you, but I'm really just a guy in the way.

I(t) Was Not Enough

It was not enough, of what I had to cope with all I had left.
I fell into your trap. You led me away from all I felt.
I don't apologize for my rhythmic rhymes that I call depression. Wake me up for your next confession.
You are the wick to my candle, just enough for me to handle. You are a little under-tempered, just enough to remember.
If drowning doesn't look like drowning, then what am I doing... here?
Don't be someone's cigarette: put to your lips, dragged the life out of you, then throw you to the ground.
I was not enough, for you. Don't fall back on me now, or until something comes through. I was not enough, not enough. All the things that were said and done are now dead and gone and they were only for you. Only for you.
