[00:10.01]They'VE said it every year but this times it seems like
[00:12.77]The end is near and i'm in line to see the light
[00:16.33]How far does this black tunnel go
[00:20.03]I got a car but the gas is running low
[00:21.83]And as long as i've known the bumps and creeks of this house
[00:24.58]It's starting to make the types of sounds that only comes from people's mouths
[00:27.25]You cant tell me it's still settling
[00:29.09]Built on an indian burial ground killing everything
[00:31.84]The childhood scar on my chin is back again
[00:35.49]That old jump over my own leg dance move has to end
[00:36.37]I've seen better days in my night terrors
[00:40.88]I was a bike messenger without a bike and i would write letters
[00:43.68]Ask directions TO YOUR whereabouts
[00:46.30]Before the slow walk the rest of the show-offs were pealing out
[00:49.03]To many hares only one TORTOISE
[00:51.77]Thats why I left this city, toO fast paced for this HO-HUM TOURIST
[00:53.56]By the time i developed the pictures
[00:56.26]They're as blurry as my memory of constant life fixtures
[00:58.91]If distance is a girl's best friend
[01:02.64]Tell them bitches in the rough who think that love comes with DIAMONDS
[01:06.22]Slave labor, you made me work for what I couldnt have
[01:08.97]Diamonds cut, BUT coal burns and nothing lasts forever
[01:11.61]Wonder why I bothered saving any of your letters, they're just aged paper
[01:19.85]Crumble
[01:20.79]Slave labour, you made me work for what I couldnt have
[01:21.63]Diamonds cut, but coal burns and nothing lasts
[01:23.49]Wonder why I saved your urn of ashes
[01:25.25]I've got an insecurity box for your mail
[01:30.66]Tracing the name on the return adress as if it was made of braille
[01:33.41]Pretended it was your finger but careful to not break a nail
[01:36.18]The one that sealed the coffin shut. When it opened caused a paper trail
[01:39.77]But since then I buried your dead sea scrolls
[01:40.69]And emptied my head of these old trivial memories that i seem to hold
[01:44.21]Now you're a foot note with cement shoes
[01:48.80]In case you wonder what that sinking feeling has been ever since I left you
