Put my eyes
Where I can see
Where the soul
Used to be
I feel the walls
Closin' in on me
Shut my mouth
I take it back
It's no way
For us to act
I missed the boat
But somehow sailed away
But that's okay
I'll have a talk
With this divebar
On a long walk
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear
There's a hole
In my mind
Where the sun
Used to shine
Memories
In black and white
Cut me off
I've had enough
Infect the wound
And sew me up
No more words
Mmmm hmmm mmmmm
But that's okay
I'll have a talk
With this divebar
On a long walk
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear
