blown cherry it's comin round again
the slowly creeping hand
of time and its command
soon enough it comes
and settles in its place
its shadow in my face
puts pressure in my day

this life
well it's sliiping right through my hands
these days turned out nothing like I had planned

it's comin round again
the slowly creeping hand
of time and its demands
it settles in its place
its shadow in my face
undignified and lame

this life
well it's sliiping right through my hands
these days turned out nothing like I had planned
soon enough it comes
to tie us down

ruba i pick up the cordless phone on a whimsy
and hit talk right away
but what was i thinking
its gonna take me a while to get my voice back

birdmad Morning seems strange
almost out of place
Searched hard for you
and your special ways

These days -
these days

Spent all my time
- learnt a killer's art
Took threats and abuse
till I'd learnt the part

Can you stay for these days? These days -
these days

Use outward deception
to get away
Broken heart romance
to make it pay

These days
these days

We'll drift through it all
it's the modern age
Take care of it all
now these debts are paid

Can you stay
- for these days?

sonic I wake up and teardrops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to
And then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just in case
Go to bed, dream of you
That's what I'm doing these days

lou_la_belle its on days like these
that i have to laugh at it

if i didn't,
i'd probably shatter
like a broken mirror
splintering instantly
into a million useless slices
together they were spectacular
apart; nothings

and that is why
i laugh too hard
a little nervously
hesitantly
as if still unsure
of how to present myself
before this obstacle

i have no one to trust but myself
i'd rather laugh
fake and forced
all day long
then fall apart
and disappear
