Mount St. Joseph - A Loss For Words

How can you sit there in your room like a caged up refugee?

Barely alive and all worn out with the fake plastic trees

Is it the only thing that makes you feel like life has meaning?

The scars are tattooed down your arms

All we wait for is everything that used to matter

Now all that’s left is our hope and battle scars

All we wait for is everything that used to matter

It’s too damn hard to watch you fall apart

What are you trying to find driving late with no headlights?

When you go down that road, you can never go home again

Can’t lie around all day, blood and bone and tooth decay

Down here, you know, no one ever survives

All we wait for is everything that used to matter

Now all that’s left is our hope and battle scars

All we wait for is everything that used to matter

It’s too damn hard to watch you fall apart

It was too damn hard to watch you fall apart

And I remember that day the scent crept from under your door

They found you three days later

You were buried under your sheets

It was too damn hard to watch

As heaven and hell held you down like anchors

And your demons finally lulled you back to sleep

Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh

Joey, you let them get to you

Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh

How could you be so careless?

Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh

Can you hear us from where you are?

All we wait for is everything that used to matter

Now all that’s left is our hope and battle scars

All we wait for is everything that used to matter

It’s too damn hard to watch you fall apart

It was too damn hard to watch you fall apart
