Come to Hide - Tommy Stinson

Used to watch you walk into this place

You live the part no one is ever good at playing

Always laughing about L. A

The trick is to laugh where know one has seen you cry

Always need a place to lay your glass

Like you need a good place to lie

Or maybe just stretch the truth a bit sometime

But now you come to hide

The world outside is getting bright

And you feel too dull to shine

Now you come to hide

Did you look too deep?

Step too far into the light?

Did you hear them laughing

As you crawled back into your old life?

Your hair combed back and your blue eyes sinking too

Looks like something’s coming over you

You’re holding on for dear life

You’re holding on too tight

Always need a place to hang your hat

A doorknob or someone else’s lap

The evening is gonna feel so trite

By the end of the night

But now you come to hide

Comfort is just a myth

That you only hear about on the news

Now you come to hide

In this place no one is here to blame

In this place no feels ashamed

In this place we’re nowhere near the flame

We just die a little more each day
