Real/Unreal 03:46
Four years I've been lost at sea With my love waiting patiently The sails have been beaten down And the waves crash on top of me Searching for some kind of sign That will return to me to what is mine I never told you what I thought then But here I sit speaking to a shrink He made me apologize to your ghost Now I sing your praises with apathy I missed my child's first cry And hope is all I have left The compass is stuck northwest And I miss your head against my chest Your heartbeat is faint But it's all I hear and all that remains I never told you what I thought then But here I sit speaking to a shrink He made me apologize to your ghost Now I sing your praises with apathy (You say I'm a good man, well I guess you're a liar) x3 Chorus x2

She's the sunrise The guiding streak of streetlights on my way home And when my body ceases to make sound Hide me in the wooden box and bury me in the stoney ground Bury me in the stoney ground Did I miss the best part? Well, can we go home now? Back to the city where I've said too much I just want to get right I just want to do better But every time I turn around I look back on the old times You can find me in the pages of dusty and expensive books And all the characters are giving us disapproving looks And the steel workers with dreams of better days Are quickly awoken by the truth of a weeks pay Yeah they're awoken by the truth of a weeks pay Did I miss the best part? Well, can we go home now? Back to the city where I've said too much I just want to get right I just want to do better But every time I turn around I look back on the old times But every time I turn around I look back on the old times I just want to get right I just want to do better I just want to go home right now But my nightmares come in black and white I swear I've had enough now M nightmares come in black and white I swear I've had enough now I swear, I swear, I swear I've had enough now I swear, I swear, I swear I've had enough now

I hope you drown on the top shelf of the bar Then we'll find out how buoyant you really are Your pupils lie so wide Trip myself before I fall inside Carry you to your car You reopen all your scars Throwing stones Throwing anything at your window Forget all the old ways The sunsets and the sunrises It felt good to feel bad It's kind of hard to explain You're digging your own grave I'm not surprised by all of your mistakes A pale moon, A dim room Buried as shallow as you want And those summer nights Don't mean anything to me anymore...anyways You're just the worm inside my skin Twisting and fucking with my temperament You aren't your cash, your house, your car Drink up and show us what you really are I never thought it'd come to this Life is just a drug induced psychosis Throwing stones Throwing anything at your window Forget all the old ways The sunsets and the sunrises It felt good to feel bad It's kind of hard to explain You're digging your own grave I'm not surprised by all of your mistakes A pale moon, A dim room Buried as shallow as you want And those summer nights Don't mean anything to me anymore Call your mother Call your father No she's not coming home tonight She's too drunk to drive Hope you two sleep well tonight Throwing stones Throwing anything at your window
