For Comfort's Sake


One year from the day
I pushed the pain away
It comes back now and then
But I won't let it in

Sometimes late at night
When the shadows drown the light
I think of you in shards
Disjointed and apart

Sometimes in my heart
Sometimes in the dark

Everybody wants somebody
Nothing changes, they're all just phrases
Phrases that we'll use and then destroy
Phrases that we'll use and then destroy

My eyes are set on this
They're coming into focus
But it's splitting through the wires
Sparking into fire

Well what's a last escape?
Until the course is placed
It's all inside your head
Like fantasies instead

Sometimes on your bed
Sometimes burning red

Everybody wants somebody
Nothing changes, they're all just phrases
Phrases that we'll use and then destroy
Phrases that we'll use and then destroy

Over it and past the clouds
Beyond the sun and in the shrouds
A black hole's slowly coming through
You get so tired, you're coming to

Waves of consciousness give way
They all make room for this decay
Preventing signs of fading lines
For comfort's sake, it's left behind

Everybody wants somebody
Nothing changes, they're all just phrases
Phrases that we'll use and then destroy
Phrases that we'll use and then destroy

Sometimes they're employed
Sometimes to avoid
