Off Lyrics

Wait until I try

Wait until I strike

Lose the meaning in the actions that we lash upon with might

And we're so small

Lacking meaning through what's short enough to lose

I'm not done losing, but there's other ways to move

Wait - there isn't light in any tunnel that I've found

There's just the crash before the darkness giving answers through the sound

And with the kicks we used to take in parking lots they wake us up

And in the last of many hours we abandon all that's tough

And with the ease, in many muscles, we are wound so tightly taut

That as they learn to rest they tear and rip and fracture on the spot

And we're so weak - we fall apart without a fight

And if our demons glue us back we make up stories not to like

About the possible -- the permanent -- the future that we might

All the worlds we used to want, and all the pain we used to bring

There's nothing left for us to sing

There's nothing left for us to name

All we do today is framed, and there's just something about that that makes me feel - tamed

I think we should be more than we are

But it doesn't really matter anyway

There's nothing left here anyway

Someday I'll put meaning to the statements in my head

But with the lost alternate routes I've got to lean on something steady

And it ain't my heart -- god don't let that beating noise tear me down

If I stand up straight and look around is there anything near to make

a sound or is this fake -- am I lost inside another broken mind

Have I got room to rest or is this just another broken line

I can play the notes, but I can't change it up once I get going

I can keep the beat, but if you start I'll lose the notes I've kept around

I see the tunnel, but the notes I play aren't making any sound

And I think I've lost the beat, I tried, but there's no music here to find

So I guess I'll ask, but there's no answer you could give to ease my mind

Is a broken song the last remaining kind?

I think we should be more than we are

But it doesn't really matter anyway

There's nothing left here anyway
