lyrics

Watch them walk alone together, hands in their pockets,
Nervously diverting the directions of their optics,
The only talkin' that they share lacks any thoughts and,
She's learned to keep emotions inside and locked up.

Started nice and normal, introductions and such when,
They hit it off, ripped it off, and started to function.
Immediately it was just like they're married,
Apartment and a car and his friends they were sharing.

And it's scary that a man would think that that's okay
When he's fresh out of high school and 18 in age.
Should be enraged that he's lost out on 8 paychecks,
But hey, first time, so he's obsessed with sex.

Tension collects on the inside and outside,
Exploring the others minds to find where their doubts hide.
Slow climb, curved line, no way to assure time
spent will ever make a dent inside of this paramime.

Dare to find the underlying issue
instead of covering it up with charasmatic misuse,
Rents due, working odd jobs off the internet,
They're living the life, but neither one of 'em is grinnin' yet.

Love to hate eachother, now she sees him like a brother,
Cause it didnt take long before their fire got smothered
under covers, now he mutters to himself in his sleep,
but she doesn't hear a thing over grinding her teeth.

It's been a few months since his best friends left him,
He got kind of fed up from feeling contested,
On one side were men that he grew up with,
And on the other side he stared in the smile of a succubus.

He's mockin' every tv show or movie based relationship,
And passing every person that stood around to wait for him.
Emptiness now, two people in a house,
He only really speaks these days when she allows.

Dufflebag of disapointment, better halves come disjointed,
Learned to take her problems somewhere else and it annoys him.
How's he supposed to deal with that, put her down or take her back?
When he created all of this but can't face the fact.

He's attacking himself, for the cracks in his health,
She's retracting her cell, for the last time she fell,
Who could tell that it would get so sick so quick,
Now they've only got eachothers shoulders that their tears hit.

They've only got each others shoulders that their tears hit

They've only got each others shoulders that their tears hit

So what are you supposed to do when everything around you
Comes crumbling down like your worst fears have found you,
Bound to retaliate in either one of many ways,
But passively, aggressively, both of them decide to stay.

Further it, murder it, scream until its sure to hit,
Hurtin themselves from the freqeuncy of fury fits,
Worried kids now, spectating through a cracked door,
Scared every second Mom and Dad'll go to war
