Catch the light
Before the waves can bend it
Funeral sign
Says "This Is Not An Exit"
Why does everything slip through my fingers
The closer that I get
You fill my head with catastrophes
That haven't happened yet

The pain in someone's eyes when they're lost
Or maybe they don't know anymore
It isn't always someone else's fault
Maybe we're just made to suffer

Wedding dress
In the branches of a spruce tree
What's been obvious to you
Constantly eludes me
All I dig are tombs
Bury a treasure with my fear
Why are the darkest thoughts
Always the first to volunteer

The pain in someone's eyes when they're lost
Or maybe they don't know anymore
It isn't always someone else's fault
Maybe we're just made to suffer

Sometimes I lie to myself & pretend
That I never said it
Do you have contempt for the love that you want
In case you never get it
This can't go on forever
It couldn't be saved
Sometimes it's for the better
To watch a half-life decay

The pain in someone's eyes when they're lost
Or maybe they don't know anymore
It isn't always someone else's fault
Maybe we're just made to suffer
