i can see the faces change as the sun goes down reflections shine from window panes they’re keeping me awake on bedroom walls they’re painting lines i see lateral misconduct every time small apartment, low light glow when it breaks i know my face won’t stay the same every time i turn around i can see the outline of a shadow now the blinds could never keep every time i make a sound i can hear the remnants of a cry out loud the blinds could never keep it out i dream but i can’t sleep i'm ignoring life to spread my wings ever time i see the sun fade in street lamp insomniac, wasting time and all of that i know it’s not the best of things i know i won’t stay the same every night when the sun goes down i’ll remove the windows from their frames shoot out ever light that brings me back to that small apartment, the low light glow and when it breaks i hope my face won’t stay the same the blinds will never keep it out it’s the summer of sam cest la vie sweeping softly through the city if there were sleeping hearts they wouldn’t go far there’d be no room for all this pity but we know the answer’s around the bend when life is brimmed by loss then tell me are we heaven sent it’s the i don’t care sensibility, the driving force of this city the creme de la creme fallacy that’s only spoken softly in this summer of sam if there were sleeping hearts they wouldn’t go far i know we won’t stay the same every night when the faces change

they want to know, "where are you going?" as if i need to be going somewhere but the years just melt away along with the confidence im still scared of getting older but im not holding on to anything im still scared of getting old but im not holding on to anything i don't believe in anymore this is where i want to be, this is where i want to be going growing older doesn’t mean we can’t be kids anymore so we tape some cards on our back spokes we trace the same old maps to follow a nowhere leading road it's our time seek shelter under pillows and blankets safe by the flickering of the tv set it's our time down here and they’re asking me, "where are you going?" as if i need to be going somewhere but the years melt away along with the confidence that im doing the right things right now we can handle responsibility that’s not what this is about it’s growing older not growing up doesn’t mean we can’t be kids anymore so we tape some cards on our back spokes we trace the same old maps to follow a nowhere leading road this is where i want to be, this is not an in between this is where i want to be going still scared of getting older but we’re not holding onto anything yeah, we’re still scared of dying but we’re not holding onto anything this isn’t about getting older growing old not growing up

they can fight the fight they want from mountain tops they’re clinging to any life, and it’s no surprise beautifully barren, trapped inside the walls a graveyard's foundation, undone they’ve become undone they can fight the fight they want as the soul survivors they need a drink to just let go that’s what every person knows and when halls seem haunted they close their eyes and just lose hope that’s what everybody knows slightly debonair, and oh so fair dancing a waltz while trapped in time their secrets locked behind closed lips meetings to place the blame on just one man red halls and unlocked doors rum soaked sheets have murdered scores as they breathe in the dust from air, they let it settle lungs choked in a pale affair they’ve learned to just let it revel as they talk about a death there’s no honor in this destroying innocence here’s the maze now don’t go in they can fight the fight they want and they will set off the alarms to bring any man down to his knees and with not but axe and arms he’d put his old faith down to sleep
