Slow To Surface: Music

How Not to Grieve

(Slow To Surface)
November 23, 2010
I won't celebrate like the rest
It seems so wasteful since you left
Since you left, when you left

I won't tell them all where you went
Politely try not to offend, but I offend
And I'm spent

I fall asleep just for the dreams
I lie awake until it seems that you're there
I'm pulling teeth just for the grins
I fail to lose until you win
Well you should have seen your face
If you could have seen your face - your face

I keep shoving nights into days
The more I do the less you say
All those things that you say
I stood quoting you with such faith
I only wish it was the same, was the same
As that day

I fall asleep just for the dreams
I lie awake until it seems that you're there
I'm pulling teeth just for the grin
I fail to lose until you win
Well you should have seen my face- my face

It starts to constrict and you've lost your way
If the stress makes you sick don't forget
That I'll always be around
