Displaced

"Displaced"

It's just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If I can just hold on tonight
I'll know that nothing
nothing survives
nothing survives

I think I'm turned around
I'm looking up not looking down
and when I'm standing still
watching you run
watching you fall, fall into me

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase

I am displaced, I am displaced

And shes my friend of all friends
shes still here when everyone's gone
she doesn't have to say a thing
we'll just keep laughing 
all night long, all night long

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase

I am displaced, I am displaced

It's just a simple line 
I can still hear it all of the time
If I can just hold on tonight
I know that no one 
no one survives, no one survives

November

"November"

So I'm waiting for this test to end,
so these lighter days can soon begin;
I'll be alone, but maybe more carefree,
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly;

I was afraid to be alone,
but now I'm scared that's how I like to be;
All these faces run the same,
how can there be so many personalities?

So many lifeless, empty hands,
so many hearts in great demand;
and now my sorrow seems so far away,
until I'm taken by these bolts of pain; 

But I turn them off, and tuck them away,
until those rainy days that make them stay;
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs,
and the words still ring, once here, now gone;

And they echo through my head everyday,
and I don't think they'll ever go away;
Just like thinking of your childhood home,
but we can't go back, we're on our own;

Ohh...

But I'm about to give this one more shot,
And find it in myself, I'll find it in myself;

So we're speeding towards that time of year,
to the day that marks that you're not here;
And I think I'll want to be alone,
so please understand that I don't answer the phone;

I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls,
until I can see nothing at all;
Only particles, some fast, some slow,
all my eyes can see is all I know;

Ohh...

But I'm about to give this one more shot,
And find it in myself, I'll find it in myself;
