It’s a colored in body
Laughs only at me
Ignites the fire inside of me

I Gave up looking for the unattainable
A lifetime feeling full
I said I had a very busy lunch table

I was passed the pier
And something that you said
It stuck, it seemed to roll around in my head
The dream of sleep
Until I reached for ?
Try hard to believe that I hit the right track
And on the back you kept up with my heels
And skimmed some meals
And ?

It’s too late, but I hope and pray for a co-misery
‘Cause in time, I’m gonna drink myself into a nursery ryhme
My faith, no one ever said that we could all be great
But I’ve signed, up for something that I still can’t find

After mourning comes laughter
Fight back memories
Make room for new love to please

In a structure, you hide yourself away
Alone get through the day
A ? has no longevity

I was passed the pier
And something that you said
I stuck, it seemed to roll around in my head
The dream of sleep
Until I reached for ?
Try hard to believe that I hit the right track
And on the back you kept up with my heels
And skimmed some meals
And ?

It’s too late, but I hope and pray for a co-misery
‘Cause in time, I’m gonna drink myself into a nursery ryhme
My faith, no one ever said that we could all be great
But I’ve signed, up for something that I still can’t find
