Alkaline Trio - Settle For Satin

it's not so much a storm,
 but just a cloud that lives inside of me
 he doesn't stir so easily these days,
 but when he wakes he goes the distance
 in a marathon of days 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, and 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 affectations keep us company,
 where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt 
 are somehow out of our control. 

 it's not about the scars, but more the crowds that walk all over me
 they don't give up too easily these days,
 but when they break they go to pieces.
 fall apart right here in north side bars
 under a sky that knows no stars
 you'll never shine again,
 but you will stay.

 i guess we only settle in to what we know
 i guess we always settle in, and 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 affectations keep us company,
 where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt 
 are somehow out of our control. 
 we lost control.
