Jer Coons - Film Called Life lyrics

rate me

It's the type of night<br />

Where the stars don't shine<br />

For fear of being seen<br />

And I wish I had some chemicals<br />

That I could hide between<br />

<br />

As you sit across the counter top<br />

Tucked behind a magazine<br />

The words they print, so meaningless<br />

As we're unraveling<br />

<br />

The air, it breathes of vacancy<br />

The cold is way too much<br />

We'll talk, you say<br />

As I escape<br />

And I will be in touch<br />

<br />

I fear that I can't find no words<br />

To patch the holes I've dug<br />

I wove the thread and took the care<br />

And then pulled out the rug<br />

<br />

Cuz the reels all set<br />

And you're sitting with me<br />

At this film called life<br />

We're all dying to see<br />

A million frames per second<br />

The projection is on<br />

How can I escape what the picture is drawn<br />

<br />

At home alone, I'll find a hole<br />

And loneliness, I'll never show<br />

Pretend I'm at the cinema<br />

And watch a film I used to know<br />

<br />

It doesn't change a thing<br />

I'm sure that I can only hope<br />

To know just how it ends<br />

So as to feel some false control<br />

<br />

Cuz the reels all set<br />

And you're sitting with me<br />

At this film called life<br />

We're all dying to see<br />

A million frames per second<br />

The projection is on<br />

How can I escape what the picture is drawn (x3)<br />

<br />

Cut out
