Hidden In Plain View

So with the lights down I'll be waiting
All alone with my records playing
A lonely song on this lonely Christmas Eve
A late December never seemed
So cold in New Jersey

It's so hard to feel anything in the spirt of everything
So I won't bother hanging up these decarations
All the lights are wrapped around the christmas tree
They tangle next to the mess you made of me
I promise you I'll hang them up next year

This holiday doesnt mean anything anymore
(Cause I'm all alone)
(Anymore)
This holiday doesn't mean anything anymore

So with the lights down I'll be waiting
All alone with my records playing
Goodbye Sky Harbor all night on this Christmas Eve night
Because I never said the holiday wishes I never meant
I never meant

This holiday doesnt mean anything anymore
(Cause I'm all alone)
(Anymore)
This holiday doesn't mean anything anymore

(da dada da da da dada da da)

This holiday doesn't mean anything anymore
(Cause i'm all alone)
(Anymore)
This holiday doesn't mean anything anymore

september, autumn skies are closing in
and the mistake your reality
at best has left you broken
with wounds that re-open
on every brink of sleep
and a fire in your heart
that never dies and never seizes

and it goes up in flames
your world is torched away

showered by the embers of your fate
being burned by every
opportunity you threw away
he is regretting very moment
he is regretting every day
fueling the fire, burning desires
which fuel the pain

and it goes up in flames
your world is torched away

so let it go up in flames
your world is torched away
and the fire in your heart is fueling the pain

And there's villians in their closets
and theives beneath their beds
And business men in mirrors
with guns against their heads
Stepstools beneath their ankles
nooses tied around their throats
Sharpening their switchblades
and citing in their scopes

Singing no one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is sacrificed
No one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is..

Maxing out their credit cards on ammuntion
They're polishing their rifles
and they're polishing their guns
cause the church is drenched in fire
Townhall's under attack
They put the hostages, familiar councilmen
they got knives against their backs

No one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is sacrificed
No one sleeps tonight
till everything is burned
and everyone is sacrificed

Sacrificed to saves our souls
or what's left of them

Desperate hearts
and so they sing
and they sing it loud
and they sing it clearly
for their faith

Whats left of the dreams we had?
Whats left of the hope we had?
Nothing, nothing at all

somewhere beyond these unforgettable days
we can find it in ourselves to live our lives again
your misplaced in time, authoring your tragedy
but your dreams and lies
never fill the voids in me

so the show goes on without you
foundations fall that were once built strong around you
and it shows all around you
foundations fall that were once built strong

so you lost the words, and lost the words to say
and lost your voice and lost your mind again
so back it up, rewind, white it out and just forget
just close your eyes and promise
to never open them again

and the show goes on without you
foundations fall that were once built strong around
and it shows all around you
foundations fall that were once built strong

i'm sorry i'll be gone next summer
so don't wait for me
i'm sorry i'll be gone next summer
so don't wait for me
so don't wait for me
cause i need you more than i ever did
so please don't go
please don't go, don't go, don't go
cause i'm lost without you
i'm so lost without you

Its 6AM, open roads and open skies
under this wyoming sunrise
a close encounter with
the emptiness and nothingness
21 years out on the run from our small hometown
you could hear a whisper in the wind
filling me with confidence
so i took advice from the headlights
it made it clear it opened up my eyes
and it opened up my mind
holding on forever to these dreams
we made together
im never gonna let them die
cause i couldnt bear the sight
there is not a word spoken
living in the moment
we're broken down but we're not broken
it will be alright
the world lied awake
as the haze burned away
the wheel seemed to turn on its own
on its way toward the horizons golden
so sunrise, im holding on to you
lift me up, drop me down
through the sounds and ill float
across the coasts, the unknowns
or in our minds where no one knows
thisis where we choose to run away
from all the things we just cant take
all the forced smiles and dreams that washed away
hold on, hold tight, be strong, it will be alright
