Like Hiding Behind Windows Lyrics

we bury ourselves alive everyday.
these houses are nothing but coffins clouding the sky.
i cross this room.
i kiss the floor.
and maybe tonight i'll sleep at the ceiling.
for some memories are pathogentic like poison
but we swallow them anyway.
"if sanity fails, try sentiment!"
is what i was told
three years ago.

and there once was a time
when i felt comfortable among others.
another life lost.
the most personal drama is that distance is such a silent hunter.
and it's killing us constantly.
and so we lost our faces long ago.
when we look into mirrors we don't even miss them.
and even if we did
the'd never come back for sure-

my hands have grown numb
but still i keep trying to hold everyone
and everthing i love.
i often think
it might be pointless like hiding behind windows.
but at least it's something i won't ever regret
and i hope it's something i will never forget.
