September in Pieces

Chorus

Living in hell

Feels like I’m watching myself from a faded motel

Everything’s slowed down, nothing ever sounds right

You said you’d call but it’s just another lie tonight

Post-Chorus

Hold on, hold on

To a shadow on the lawn

Verse 2

I find you in photographs I tore from the wall

September in pieces, the summer dissolved

The streetlights go silent, the pavement is cold

I trace all my secrets in cracks of the road

Pre-Chorus

Maybe if I left would I still be alone

There’s something I miss but it’s gone

Chorus

Living in hell

Feels like I’m watching myself from a faded motel

Everything’s slowed down, nothing ever sounds right

You said you’d call but it’s just another lie tonight

Post-Chorus

Hold on, hold on

To a shadow on the lawn

Bridge

Windows are painted with gray afternoon

Smoke in the corners, hearts out of tune

Empty reminders tucked under my door

I’m counting the patterns in ceiling decor

Outro

Maybe tomorrow I’ll make it outside

Swear that there’s meaning in passing the time

If you ever listen, if these words find your mind

I’m still holding on – but I’m falling behind
