lyrics

Fairytales, they do no good for me
But I can count on silence and darkness and warmth to put me to sleep
But the warmth that came from you never felt quite right
And you never fixed that hole in your blinds that let in too much light

Convinced myself you had things figured out
But one drink after another - there was no telling you to slow it down
The sweetest words, they rolled right off your tongue
But I hated every cloud of smoke you blew into my lungs

It's awfully eerie
Awfully hazy
These fragments of memories
False security

Do you still have those dreamcatchers in your room?
The ones that never caught my nightmares cause my worst fears came true
I still hear the echoes of laughing friends
And I still smell the whiskey I'd wake up to when you'd crawl in bed

I replayed those records like they were new
Now I can't listen to those bands without thinking of you
Whispers of those songs running through my head
And the ghosts of your arms holding me as we both hung by a thread

It's awfully eerie
Awfully hazy
These fragments of memories
False security

Knuckles white
Teeth clenched tight
I couldn't bear
To leave you there

But you left me
You set me free
I couldn't see
I couldn't breathe

Smoke too thick
The lights too dim
Music too loud
Pushing through the crowds

I lost your hand
It slipped like sand
But you let go
And now I know

It's awfully eerie
Awfully hazy
These fragments of memories
False security
