Senators - 219 lyrics

[Hook] That's the way it goes [Lish] You can only be bitter if you once really cared And you never thought you'd sever everything that you shared Realize that you've been blinded like a windshield that's glared And what you thought was real was just another tawdry affair You're lookin' for the rea**urance but there's just empty air Like a large starvin' family and their cupboard is bare All your hope, it left with her like a thing she declared And your head is now blarin' with this sudden despair [Smevz] You're droppin' from the poker parties to solitaire Like you made your way to heaven but you fell down the stairs For a stretch you're on a shelf, like you're beyond repair Feelin' surrounded by the round holes and your peg is a square You weren't the one and only, just the only available spare Though maybe it wouldn't burn without bein' spurned unaware Thinkin' you needed to bring everything for the good of the pair But it was all about her, like you weren't even there [Hook] [Smevz] Now I can't stop talkin' about a fondness that turned noxious And my pompous stream of consciousness nonsense has got me nauseous Ready to check me into a hospice, either legally or with a locksmith Cuz these things I think and speak are leakin' out like a busted faucet Life can k** when loneliness is the accomplice Gettin' seized by teasing memories of every broken promise Sometimes nothin' feels better, at least the shadows are honest Don't leave my thoughts and feelings dealing via static tele-conference [Lish] Once you've watched it all fall apart like the leaves in August Don't be shocked if the only response is bein' really cautious And all that's on the top is how she's probably on some blond adonis All the proper thoughts are gone ever since it conned your conscience For a while, life crawls at an awful constant Every day at the office, every bank deposit Is this monotonous process, where you're not making progress Gettin' lost in the context, and you're not gonna comment [Smevz] Every night forgetting everything she ever said to me "Who needs a drink?" I'm like that guy in High Fidelity Drinkin' away her identity, I'll get it all eventually Like Joel Barrish, a perilous attempt to get serenity But I'm a forest that can't see its trees' density Need the correct perspective for makin' sense out of anything Can't introduce an evolution 'til I'm admittin' everything And without that starting point I can't even point to what's next to me Cuz no story with one side will ever stand steadily To know the score is more important when forced to do it separately What if it was her who wrote these words down instead of me? She isn't innocent but I committed my own felonies Not easy to be the Beatles and just Let It Be 'specially when it ended like some botched chemistry But dwelling only weighs it on your brain more heavily Like Vincent after the robbery, I think it's time we left the scene [Hook]
