Minds Like Minefields lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Once upon a time
When we both lost our minds
And our memories
Destroyed our common sense
And the letters sent
Suicidal tendencies
Deployed like a parachute
You had a hole in you
As we went tumbling through the sky
The only thing I'd change
Is the fear and rage
And the hell I put you through
So sorry
And I can't get up
The nerve to look you in
The eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance
Is murder on your feelings
I'm at a loss for words
As the tables turned
You placed me upon the wheel
In your torture chamber
My remains were
Left next to my last meal
Gone without a trace
You went off to taste
The fruit of the afterlife
As I sit and stir
Nightmares recur
Haven't slept a wink
In forty days or nights
And I can't get up
The nerve to look you in
The eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance
Is murder on your feelings
Now and again
Forgotten friends
Crossing my mind like a minefield
Stopping to stare
Asking, "Do I dare,
Defuse this or disarm my—
Disarm myself?"
And I can't get up
The nerve to look you in
The eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance
Is murder on your feelings
Now and again
Forgotten friends
Crossing my mind like a minefield
Stopping to stare
Asking, "Do I dare,
Defuse this or disarm my—
Disarm myself?"
Radio Violence lyrics - Alkaline Trio
I set down the dream with the rain boots
And decided to ride out the storm
Now I can't recall how to welcome the light
And I can't see not window or door
It's these four walls of mine
How they change colors
How they'd sing to me sometimes
So dark the verse, so comfortable the tune
Seduced to nothing
Just a servitude in size
All-seeing bloodshot eyes
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams that never stood a chance
We've been subtracting in the dark
Now in the dark is where we dance
To radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
If I went dark tonight,
Would I change colors?
Go from tip to tails in white
To southern stumbles soaked in rage by midnight
We saw it coming
A misfortune-teller knew
Made sure it all came true
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams that never stood a chance
We've been subtracting in the dark
Now in the dark is where we dance
To radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
But you
Bruise colored our lives
Dreams all soaked and innocent
We're left alone here in the dark
As in the dark was where we met
Through radio violence
Communicated, filters through
A lost transmission on repeat
No one else is listening to
Smokestack lyrics - Alkaline Trio
Filled myself with soot from top to bottom
I'm a smokestack
Turnin' blood into booze
Now my liver's on fumes
Little alcoholic
I'm always beating myself up
Why did I have to play so rough?
I tried to get the hell out
And I'm standin' in my own way
No, we can't skip school anymore
Do you miss those days at all?
I miss starting up fires
Throwing bottles at trains
Pissing on convenience store walls
Well it was time for me to go home
Let's go and make some flyers for our third floor show
Mom and dad can wait
This is the path that we chose
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing
At that open bar
I saw a life go past that I guess I coulda had
But I didn't try very hard
You see, I knew you two would last
Why did you have to jump so fast?
Now put the baby to bed
'Cause it's time for me to go home
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
