Reset the counter
The zeroes stare you in the face
(yeah)
A new day with old regrets
No way to trust yourself
Like a sympathy unaware that it can stop happening
On a different day
You might find a reason to stay out of your own way
Is that something that people do?
Time-lapse photography of your old memories
Pictures of somebody
Someone that you can relate to
Someone who looks like you
Songs about dancing play in empty gas stations
Can you get full on that plate full of nothing
Now can you get through
One more difficult day over in the loneliness
And that quizzical way
You won't let yourself forget
One more difficult day over in the loneliness
One more difficult day
In a picture of someone else
See what you liked about yourself
In the way that they hold their eyes
In a face that seems so unkind
They were trying to tell you
They were trying to tell you
You were wrong
In a picture of someone else
See what you miss about yourself
In the way that they hold their---

Dreamed You Were A Dog

Twenty times a day
The room begins collapsing
Your surroundings slip away
You feel it when it's happening
But it's harder to explain
Everything's unraveling in a sick, familiar way
Twenty times a day
You dreamed you were a dog
You dreamed you had some friends
Who sometimes asked you what was wrong
They'd hold you if you whimpered
And they'd kiss your little paws
They would reassure you
You were perfect as you are
You dreamed you were a dog
Always want your time
They're never sure what's happening
But everyone's so happy for you.

The last of the embers
Covers the dust of the day
I have to remember
That I wasn't always this way
Water comes in through the windows
Covers the things that you saved
Stop when you see me
Notice the change in my face
Can we believe we can keep
Running around in one place
Water comes in through the windows
Covers the things that you saved
Water flows over the mansions
Water flows over the graves

Coat Of Many Colors

Everyone you remember from that summer
With their open arms, wore a coat of many colors
When they talked to you they were really saying something
It was beautiful when they smiled
Last year's friends aren't pretending they're still listening
You trusted them before money changed the vision
Now you oscillate between paradise and prison
In this awful place
Even on your birthday
Everybody's screaming, screaming, yeah
But we couldn't tell you why
We liked you in the first place
It might just be another party
It might just be a waste of time
But everyone says it doesn't even matter, I know
Everyone says it doesn't even matter, I know
Everyone says it doesn't even matter
I know everyone.

Year Burn Down
02:46

With the wind so cold on your face
While you walk downtown
And that voice that you couldn't place
Do you hear it now?
When it tells you that you can't stay
And the year burns down
And the year burns down
When they're talking
But your name's always erased somehow
See the cop cars out on the chase
Hear the sirens howl
In a time so absent of grace
Let the year burn down
Let the year burn down
Let the year burn down.
