Grey Smith - Somewhere in the Silence

How come you never feel like you look in the photographs?
When it hurts the most
You pose and laugh
Another man slept over and
Overslept
You're hoping sex
Comes with a home attached

What ever happened to chasing dreams?
Hollywood turn into make-believe
Doubt?...
Maybe you were born with it
Maybe it's Maybelline

You've been running more than your Mascara lashes
You've been hanging on like a broken nail
Your lipstick matches the
Blood on your mouth
He splits your smile
When you close your veil

I know you well
You just want to dance in the rain with your tresses wet
With a lit cigarette in a wedding dress, and
Forget he left...

We could head west to
The mountains out in
California
We can settle down and
Get us back to normal
Hit the shore and
We can walk in the waves
Until the sun goes down, and
The past ignores us

You don't gotta live like this
Let's go home now
You can pack your shit
We could hit the freeway
With the top down
Watch it all disappear
Like your daddy did

He said he's coming right back
Another night passed
Letters in the mail, but
He doesn't write back
The love that I have
Doesn't feel the same
I mean, It kills the pain
But it was nothing like dad's

It's sad...
You're all grown up
This is the world that I wanted to save you from
The little girl in the constellations
Her stars are fading
She walked away from love

I'll be alone tonight
I'll be alone
I've been searching for a way out
I feel like I'm a breakdown
I'll be alone

Your hair is everywhere
Mine turned grey and
It's falling out
It's winter here
It's been a year since
You turned our home into a
Haunted house
I sleep on the floor
Common ground
The roses you planted
Have blossomed now
The last thing you said right before you left was
Your period's late
There's a comma now...

One of these days
I'm a fly away
You feel like you want to die today, know that
I'm the same
It's kinda strange that I don't mind the pain
Maybe I'm insane

I'm just sayin

Despite the pain I'm in
I wouldn't trade the shit
What's crazy is
I still love you as much as the day we met
I haven't changed a bit

I can't handle my feelings, but
I can hang from a fan on the ceiling
A handful of pills
The shit that you said isn't real, but
I still put my hand through the mirror

I'm gonna miss laughing in bed
Passionate sex
Smiles
Your hand on the back of my head
I turn black and collapse in a mess, then
Come back from the dead
I have no regrets

I love you

We both know
That will never change
Now I spend my days
Trying to find my way back to
Yesterday
I could forget your name

This is the part where I let you go
This is the part where it hurts
This is the part where I walk through the garden, and
Meet your ghost
Don't leave a note
I'll be alone

California
I know your soul
I hope you're somewhere sunny
I've been looking for a way out
I feel like I will breakdown
I hope you're somewhere silent
California...
