Cassette Tapes

The bottom's gonna bury us everyday
Take my heart and give away
All my notes and cassette tapes
I don't care about them anyway

Love is so painful
But when I'm lonely there's silence
And when there is silence inside of my head
I start to feel violent

And when there is violence
The demons in my mind will triumph
Till my oceanside angel
Is left with bruises and crying

I reside in the comfort
Of all my physical pain
Run away till legs buckle
Validate I'm insane

Self sedation through insomnia
Just to hide what is wrong with ya
Suffocate on desperate words
Perform to a crowd coz I need to be heard

Through stereos, cassette tapes
Car radios and highways
You're the only one I need
You're the only one

The bottom's gonna bury us everyday
Take my heart and give away
All my notes and cassette tapes
Coz I don't care about them anyway

No black and white picture
Can hide the true colors I have inside
Sifting through the pages
A coloring book with empty lines

You were the complexion
That filled the void inside my eyes
Red were all the flowers
That had my blood so intertwined

She's the only one that made me feel something
When recently everything's numb
And when I was gone I'd write her songs
To prove to myself that I can feel love

How could I kill the person that's hurting her
When I'm the only one?
How can I cure the cancer that's killing her
When the cost is my own blood?

So I'll invoke screams till there's quiet
Lose my inside the riot
Terrorizing, victimizing
Crash this plane coz I'm the pilot

Record these songs line by line
To control my own fate
And when she forgets that she's mine
Put them on replay

Through stereos, cassette tapes
Car radios and highways
You're the only one I need
You're the only one

The bottom's gonna bury us everyday
Take my heart and give away
All my notes and cassette tapes
Coz I don't care about them anyway

Through stereos, cassette tapes
Car radios and highways
You're the only one I need
You're the only one I need

Across the world, on jet planes
On the road, and big stages
You're the only one I need
You're the only one I need

The bottom's gonna bury us everyday
Take my heart and give away
All my notes and cassette tapes
Coz I don't care about them anyway
