Facing New York

Tell Everyone

Facing New York


Burning down the house again 
burning in the autumn wind 
aint that comical, sympathetic, beautiful 

watch the roof become a blade 
caving in on what i made 
its just so logical, tragic, magic, pitiful 

tell everyone that you know 
that i wont be coming around no more 
tell everyone i'll be fine 
but i had to get out of here sometime 

sinking on a crowded ship 
reaching out to next of kin 
call me cynical but i'd rather die alone 

when the water reached the deck 
i had lost my self-respect 
don't get personal, apathetic, critical 

mourning what has come and gone 
is healthy only for so long 
call me terrible but i'm trying to move on 

use what's left of love to give 
find another life to live 
overcome the pain and become the razor blade
