The Middle

I wasn't higher than I was supposed to be

But the walls froze through then they shatter

I'm partially peaceful sitting in an empty room

While the lights outside never matter

There's a bitter pill on the other side

Smoky shaded space in a double-wide

We could come to the middle

Let it all pass through

I'm a pretender

It's like bein' the morning sun

All the lies I live make me wonder

I had a bottle

Filled it with the only one

That could turn my nights into thunder

How I wish it could be another way

And I wouldn't stumble and go away

Yeah, it makes you cry just a little

If it does us any good

I cannot see it

And I am shaping a madness

Then it seems to mirror me

While the world spins faster than ever

And they say it's burning

All the things you need to say

You better get out now while you're limber

Morning never cuts like I want it to

There's a canyon in between me and you

And I would bleed just a little

And never be the same

Why am I so tired when all I do is sleep?

Is it the same dream that I keep having?

You were there with me lying in a naked seat

But there was ample shelter and padding

But the wind whispers in a darkened street

Selling simple warnings to you and me

Yeah it makes me die just a little

A little every day
