Lucky As Mars

Awake again...hopeless as tomorrow

I found a way to gaze at her just dreaming

of the way it would be

if we knew eachother brain to brain

then there's those days

I pass up chances face to face

So here I stand with my chances close to none

I know there's no way you'll be the one

I think too much of consequences

Empty again

Nothing is so trivial

I count the days upon my wrists with empathy

It's just every day we bleed to let them know we're here

We fall to the floor and their slight glances do us in

We choose the nights but we never make a sound

There's got to be some way you won't turn me down

Just one chance to turn you around

One more day it's said and done

It's been a while since I've had just one

Do you ever hear them say, "You do it to yourself"

And we must hide but keep our past

How can I go on here

With my face to the floor

It's windy again

Felt the sickness cover me

I just had to leave

The party here just weakens me

I walked alone on the boardwalk filled with drunken teens

I cannot compete

With all these boys who get what they need

Don't ever give up

It's the life that you've won

But sometimes I think you won't be the one

Be the one who resides in my arms

Who am I kidding?

To dream...never winning

It's 5:00 and there's no super or a star

They're the mirrors who tell us who we are

It's all so stupid

This game with cupid

We can never decide which route to fly

The streets are burning with our hearts inside

One more day it's said and done

It's been a while since I've had just one

Do you ever hear them say "you do it to yourself"

And we can't sleep without your voice

Why don't you just take us right into your soul

Then all this stuff would erase
