Fake a smile and hold a casual conversation with your friends Try to laugh even when there's nothing to laugh at cause once you recognize that everyone feels the same as you you find meaning in the motions we go through Pick your fights. Some things you just can't and won't get right on your own. Face the facts. You never get what you want back. So enjoy what you have while it's still sitting there or lying next to you cause everything that you love you're eventually gonna lose Fake a smile and hold a casual conversation with your friends Make it last cause these are the days you don't get back and when you're old and grey and you're sitting there with no one next to you you'll miss everyone you never thought you'd lose

The sun came out and the clouds were gone and I tried my best to do no harm but I always fail when I’m at my best I’ve lost everything I’ve loved and I’ve settled for the rest that’s how I came to you I know it’s sad, but it’s true but whatever broke your heart, it’s now breaking my heart to cause when I give it my all I find nothing there at all and I’m always left not knowing what I didn’t get should I see it in the clouds or the words that leave my mouth now my nights are cold just like you so I don’t give a damn about the things you say you just went through cause you never cared so why should i? I’ve got people in my life that deserve more of my time cause when I give it my all I find nothing there at all and I’m always left not knowing what I didn’t get should I see it in the clouds or the words that leave my mouth It’s the nights that I spent with you that make me say the things I do after you left My words don’t ever come out right I’m just a little kid alone at night and I’m scared of the proper things to say to you like take me back or I miss you or I’m sorry. So, I’m sorry.

Black Box 03:12
Street lines evenly placed black and white turn to grey there's a simple explanation for losing sight of your destination you've got to see where you started and know when to stop and be at ease with the life that you've forgotten haunted by your memories I don't want to go back I don't want to move forward I just want my past to turn into something more Cause I need a way out of this dream that I've tried living but I've got nowhere else to go my mind is a home that I can't leave As far back as I remember there's a little black box that's full of bitter excuses for my problems so I tried to outrun them but now my days and nights are haunted Living like I'm always in a dream finding signs in phones and floorboards unsure what's real and make believe

I always thought that things would end up like I'd seen in those books and pictures So take back those lies cause they do nothing for me Take me back to belmont hills where life was easier and money didn't matter cause we didn't have any father in a new career and mother was always there what happened to our ways? All the artwork it is gone from the refrigerator door and I've seen that house only twice more in the yard we'd play our games with imagination now the games we play end with humiliation And those lies are dancing in our headlights and I just can't seem to understand cause you'll laugh and I'll laugh but it doesn't feel the same anymore and I just want to feel the same so take me back home

I watched the film a thousand times to figure out which role was mine so I could relate better and I took out all the liner notes of the albums that I played the most rearranged them to say something different I cursed my idols rejected my heroes I made examples of the people I cared about most Now I read my story back to front I lose myself in what I’ve done I’m moving closer to the exposition and I’m beginning to see that either way this story’s read it ends the same Drifting apart from my lack of grace I’ll forget their faces move off to a new town repeat my choices and leave the people I care about

Record Sides 03:54
All the comic books I read at work taught me nothing about my future so what’s my future? Change the tone and change the melody take it from the top and then we’ll sing without knowing the right words But you would never complain Ooooooooooo But you would never complain Ooooooooooo That I live my life in record sides 22 minutes at a time and I hope that you hope that I stay here cause the thrill has taken over me tripped me and left me trembling and I know that you know we’ll get through My free time’s almost caught up with me I’m running out of books to read and songs to sing I’m just living for Saturday cartoons I see nothing wrong with the life I lead All my books on tape keep me company While I wait for you to come home But you would never complain Ooooooooooo But you would never complain Ooooooooooo That I live my life in record sides 22 minutes at a time and I hope that you hope that I stay here cause the thrill has taken over me tripped me and left me trembling and I know that you know we’ll get through But you would never complain Ooooooooooo But you would never complain Ooooooooooo But you would never complain Ooooooooooo But you would never complain Ooooooooooo
