Alkaline Trio - Stained In Satin

it's not so much a storm


but just a cloud that lives inside of me


he doesn't disturb so easily these days


but when he wakes he goes the distance.


in a marathon it takes too long


open containers that sing songs


you'll never dream again


but you can pray





i guess we only settle in to what we know


i guess we always settle in, we know.


but there is comfort in a world


where darkness is the only thing we see


and cold is all we have to breathe


where expectations keep us company


with the light we take to the outside


will it die? i somehow hide of out control.


(we lost control).





it's not about the sky


or the clouds that walk all over me


they don't give up too easily these days


but when they break they go to pieces.


for a pond blood here in north set barns


under a sky that knows no stars


you'll never shine again


but you will stay.
