walking under an orange sun, thinking of the moon it has replaced
told me to keep myself clean, told me that you want the best for me
so i'll sit back, and i'll laugh at your jokes, and i'll smile i'm sure
bittersweet melodies will fall out of my mouth, onto the bedroom floor
and i'm sure, it's probably for the worst, like drinking heavy or getting hurt
but sometimes, the silence knows best
sitting at the side of the road, people walking by, in the strangest clothes
cold but i think that i'm happy, as long as i don't talk much more
selfish thoughts will flood my brain, and drag me up the wall
the alley down the side is full of cocaine nose jobs, but everyone lets it slide.
and i'm sure, it's probably for the worst, like drinking heavy or getting hurt
but sometimes, the silence knows best
and i'm sure, it's probably for the worst, like drinking heavy or getting hurt
but sometimes, the silence knows best
dreamt about leaving town last night, i think i've been here for too much damn time, 'cos i have established a brand new life, but it's falling apart now you're gone

sarah dearest, they were passing time
waiting for the equinox to bring the sunshine
severely lacking in a stable mind
just like mine, yes, we were two of a kind
at the party of the 20th year
i stole something from, a friend most dear
moment of weakness in the hallway glow
as my peers passed by, with eyes so closed
you were unaware, no one cared
this was comeuppance, and terrible things
i was a decent man, that night, a tarnish
on both our houses, malice lives here
sarah knew they had broke the band
but at this point, i could understand
sometimes, weakness will take us on
and we'll do things we're not proud of
you cried for an hour, so long after
at this point i was, of drunken mind
my heart wasn't there, for what they said
when they'd finished, i simply upped and left
you were unaware, no one cared
this was comeuppance, and terrible things
i was a decent man, that night, a tarnish
on both our houses, malice lives here
someone had seen, the moment i stole
myself and my friend, out in the hall
there wasn't much wrong, on a basic level
the complications were soon to detail
whispers echoed through the function room
to a selfish sarah who just wanted my tomb
to themselves like all that time ago
i wouldn't give in, i was better off alone
so we ran outside to find me by the river
and you screamed my name, claimed i was a sinner
and dragged me into the cold elixir
and drowned my screams in the body of the water
i was unaware, of how much you cared
i didn't deserve, this bitter end
i was a decent man, or at least i hoped
when the moment came and kern parks croaked
