"Doors I Painted Shut" lyrics
"Doors I Painted Shut"
I don't wanna die
At least not without you
Alone here in the August heat
In the shadows of the afternoon
I don't wanna die
But I'm petrified of getting up
There's a draft coming from underneath
A door I swore I'd painted shut
I'm staring at the sun
Even though I'm sure that I'm asleep
It's expanding out to swallow us
I can feel the low, persistent heat
I don't try to run
I wait out there on the porch swing
In the orange glow and eerie calm
The continent slides off into the sea
I don't wanna stay
Under the low clouds of a humid heat
I'm singing softly out of tune
I can never find the key
I don't wanna die
Or maybe I do
Cause everything's so fucking dark
You found me crying in the other room
It's been years since I've been low like this
I don't like me
Playing piano with a broken wrist
I don't like me
I've been waiting at the window sill
I don't like me
I need you to know I love you still
I don't like me

Man Overboard - "Love Your Friends, Die Laughing" Well the night gets old so I’m back again.
The day just started because I’m up with my old friends,
the fat smoke and funny joke.
Sitting like a sponge, letting everything soak.
And I just got...
Stand Atlantic - "Skinny Dipping" Thought I could take this to my grave, but instead I let it bury me
Yeah it was my mistake, I needed honest conversation
The kind I only make in my sleep
Fill my pocket mark with poison personality...
The Story So Far - "Out Of It" Leaning on a bad knee
Don't really wanna be with anyone
Can you hear in my key?
How can you not see it's not always fun
Wait and score, speed back
Lock the door, just pour, I'm getting numb
Not...
Neck Deep - "She's A God" As we wake up she begins curling up to me in her underwear
And she looks at me with her eyes like planets in a solar flare
She gets dressed, she looks her best with her hair like, everywhere
And it...
Grayscale - "Fever Dream" I'm ashes, post-flame
All the coal that disintegrates
I'll just lie here quietly
Sink into the earth's defeat
As I watched you grow dull
Wonder how you stay so cold
Always knew something was wrong...
