Cold hard truth is inside these four walls Shadows in every room She echoes down these halls Memories too strong to fight Realities too hard to face So I spend every night in a barstool kind of place Where the neon lies Everything's all right The whiskey melts cold goodbyes Where the jukebox plays And my heart don't break Because I believe that she'll come back in time Oh, where the neon lies She won't find someone else She'll miss me way too bad Here I convinced myself Yeah, she'll want what we had Beer after beer I chased this whiskey down In this buzzing blue light atmosphere, oh The truth don't hang around Where the neon lies Everything's all right The whiskey melts cold goodbyes Where the jukebox plays And my heart don't break 'Cause I believe that she'll come back in time Oh, where the neon lies Oh-oh, where the jukebox plays And my heart don't break 'Cause I believe that she'll come back in time I start seeing things, oh, in a different light Oh, where the neon lies Oh, where the neon lies

Just a few of my favorite lies . . . Lately I don't even miss her Yes it's true, out of sight and out of mind All my love, yesterday, it has faded away I'd be lonely if I could find the time Helped her open the door when she left me All I said was good luck and goodbye Now at last I am free like I've wanted to be These are a few of my favorite lies I'm surprised I'm still talking about her For I can stop any time, and I will But if you feel like asking me questions Well I have more lies I'm dying to tell There's no room in my heart now for sadness I've completely forgot how to cry If she came back today I would turn her away These are a few of my favorite lies Just of my favorite lies

Countless times I have died Saw you alone again Waiting as the world moves past us You've never been alone for long Crying all day won't make you strong Maybe it's time to say goodbye Please move on now Let's go back to being strangers Can't you hear me breaking away? I hate it when you kiss me when I'm not even alive Tried to lie that I got better You don't buy my lies like they do I can't deny that I mind I cried myself to sleep again I cried myself to sleep again to see the way it ends I know you never mind When I don't text you back Don't you see what's wrong with that? Care to join me one last dance Tell me, did it hurt you bad? I still whisper your name all day Hoping you will find me again Can't you hear me breaking away I can't deny that I mind I cried myself to sleep again I hate it when you kiss me when I'm not even alive

Misery likes company I like the way that sounds I've been trying to find the meaning So I can write it down Starin' out the window It's such a long way down I'd like to jump But I'm afraid to hit the ground I can't write a love song the way I feel today And I can't sing no song of hope I got nothing to say Life is feeling kind of strange since you went away I sing this song to you wherever you are As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms I'm tired of watching TV It makes me want to scream Outside the world is burning Man it's so hard to believe Each day you know you're dying From the cradle to the grave I get so numb sometimes That I just feel the pain I can't write a love song the way I feel today I can't sing no song of hope I've got nothing to say Life is feeling kind of strange it's strange enough these days I send this song to you whoever you are As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms Staring at the paper (Staring at the paper) I don't know what to write (I don't know what to write) I'll have my last cigarette well (I'll have my last cigarette) (Turn out the lights) Maybe tomorrow (Maybe tomorrow) I'll feel it differently (I'll feel it differently) But here in my delusion (Here in my delusion) I don't know what to say (What to say) I can't write a love song the way I feel today And I can't sing no song of hope I got nothing to say I can't fight the feelings that are buried in my brains I send this song to you wherever you are As my guitar lies bleeding I can't write a love song the way I feel today And I can't sing no song of hope there's no one left to save And I can't fight the feelings buried in my brains I send this song to you everyone As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms Ohhh

Is it funny or is it just sad, the way life pulls in different directions? How you can want something so fucking bad, the dissonance, the disconnection can eat you alive inside. There's a canyon between consistency and complacency, but in so many ways, they all look the same. Am i worried, or dead fucking scared to fall prey to a life of convention. The day in, the day out. The routines set in and the alarm clock wins, the shining of shoes and boredom begins... To eat you alive inside. This fabrics failing. Just let it go. Just let it burn. The fabrics failed me, the sand is gone from the hour glass. So what can you tell me, that you haven't told me in the past. I've opened my eyes, flooded my mind, stepped in the van, the miles, the time, lived a life of a thousand lives. We're out of step, out of line, these hollow threads we're tied behind, Cut these strings, let it die. Cut these strings. Release me.
