Night and day.

Lyrics to the music of greendays; Give me Novocaine

Everything feels fake when you’re alright.
Not knowing how to cope when I’m not in the sights.
Dwelling in what we find when you know it’s not.

(When did love become such a harsh word?)
Hate to love, remembering our last words.
Struggle to forget all the sleepless nightmares,
Nothing but this could bring me down tonight.

Endless problems… We’ve all had those times.
Mothers that won’t let go of fake brides,
Fathers never let their sons mistakes hide.
Giving up  never seems to get easier.

Days that just move on, never fixing the problem…
just let me forget once more.
Hate to know you knew how to solve them.
Knowing that one day you’ll leave.

Stay in this palm of mine.

Scratching my fingers, definitions cracking the surface.
Realizations of another time, another dream...
Always drowning in a fake reality.

Shoot up once more, scraping grasping…
for my mind. Maybe I just need to be done asking.

Already so high... its depression in the sings.

Could feeling this good actually be a crime?
A sober mans sins coming back to haunt his life.
Let him numb his pain with the alcohol that burns the wounds.
Smoke his last cigarette by the tomb stone.

Nothing ever seems to be as real as It used to be.

Forget the cope-less nights, everything seems to be alright.
Keep these sleepless nightmares, fight through the day.
Crawl into bed, fingers grip the lifeless pillow.

Suffocating emotions, all my sweet nothings.

Bitter memories become sweet to the taste,
Sailor Jerry to numb the mind.

Silence the screams, And fall asleep.

This is the start of where I really started to like it. Like that like alot, you wrote alot of good stuff in here that I honestly loved. It was clever, creative, made you think and gave me a nice image of what that may look like. Don't changed anything about it, it's great how it is.

I can definetly see where this ties into the music. It's a creative way to create lyrics, by writing them to the beat of an existing song. Very nice write.
