lyrics

As my eyes adjust the walls begin to expand and contract when I take a breathe. The yellow at the edge is getting crushed so slowly it's just turning orange and for a year that's flying by today is dragging. Slow enough that I can't find any comfort in this pace. Even the clouds are at a stand still. It seems like the windows have been shaking all day and periodically I hear the whistling of a song but it always stops when I try to listen. The ticking of the clock taunting every second we spend only existing and not living. For a year that's flying by today is dragging slow enough that I can't find any comfort in this pace. For a year that's flying by today has dragged since it began but some how it's still getting away from me. An equal spacing of lines holds vertical grains in between where crushed lead shows the proof of just how bad it could be. These three hands will always each have their own different and constantly consistent speeds never changing for anyone or anything. The clouds start to move as they make visions of the static complete and they are starting to leave behind a coat on everything. With no sense of belonging I just sit here looking down at the birds perched on the power lines. The current that is traveling through these lines is providing them with the warmth they need to survive. The wind is picking up with every second that passes and I can't believe that they haven't left yet. It just keeps pushing them with no mercy until the point that they are forced to fly away. It makes me think about the friends I've lost to this heartless world. I try to stay positive but it's so hard when I feel like they were cheated. It didn't take long until this block was buried under the snow. Once the sun has set it's just another night that I'll spend alone and my mind is refusing to sit still. Street lights hit the shades and shine through making the walls glow. Keeping me awake at night. Keeping me from getting comfortable and I haven't been to sleep in days. One day at a time has become the only thing that I know. I've embraced the cold for so long that it's just been numbing me from you and I haven't felt anything real in so long.
