Such Sad Songs

When the dialogue

Makes you think you're gonna die soon

I don't listen for the dial tone

I just lay alone and cry

Cause there are such sad songs on the radio

And all my old friends are laying low

Trying not to be the people they're afraid of don't you know?

And the centerpiece

Is a little bit of everything

This cacophony is deafening

And no one else can seem to hear

When there are such sad songs on your stereo

And all your old friends don't care at all

Trying not to fall apart they can't take it anymore

And when the morning comes

And everything is still amiss

You turn your TV on

And then regret it while you sit

Cause there are such sad stories on the morning news

And every death toll takes more from you

There is an armed gunman in the store

With you it seems, oh it seems

So you go back to bed

And pretend it's all a dream

If you convince yourself

Its only numbers on a screen

Then all the fucked up things that keep happening

Will feel much less real than they have to be

Much less real than they actually are
