Static (Consumption Casualties lyrics)

Here we go

One more time

Same old bullshit

New tired line

Telling me

Things will change

How many times

Before I go insane

Broke my heart

I lost my mind

Still can't see 

What I don't want to find

Say you'll be there 

Oh how you care

What good is that 

If we go nowhere

Chorus: 

Reaching through the static 

To find our frequency 

(X's 3)

The closer we get

The further we fall

Seems impossible

To fucking evolve

You punch through doors

Begging forgiveness

I run away 

Wishing for stillness

My tongue has sharpened

Like a knife

Carving doubts in my mind

You lose your baggage

I'll lose mine

Let's leave this bullshit behind

Chorus

Reading Bukowski 

Into the night

Drinking whiskey

Just to fight

You have the power

To make me rage

I lose my way

More each day

The static grows

With every word

We speak

It's never easy

To just let 

Things be

Close your eyes

Quiet your mind

I know 

You can find me

Just give it time

Chorus

February

Some collect hearts 

Just to shatter them

Crafting haunting

Mosaics

Of the carnage

Left behind

I watched you move

From one lover to the next

Like that bright glittery

Super bouncy ball

I liked to slam 

Against walls

Just to annoy you

You were content

Until they stopped feeding 

Your ego and addictions 

Believing in your lies

I know in the end

It caught up with you

Leaving you lost and alone

How frightened you must have been

Watching the sun rise and set

In the same dark room

Lit with the ember of your

Everlasting cigarette

Listening to sad music

And mind fucking 

Yourself Into oblivion 

I know your heart broke 

Swollen and bruised

Losing it's rhythm 

With each lover 

Left behind

Forgetting yourself 

Is impossible in the end

No matter how deep

You bury yourself

In another's skin.
