Dear Dark Blue
This song was inspired by "Dark Blue" by Jacks Mannequin. I believe I wrote it new years day 09.
Dear dark blue, dark blue
Yes, I have been alone in a crowded room
and realised that no one could understand the emptiness of people talking
all their hollow words carved in like wooden trees
that blow in the wind
making the shutters talk all through the night
so I stare at the ceiling fan not blinking an eye
watching the blades not spin, stationary like my life
because I know I’m not going anywhere in this sate
while the clock in the hall keeps me from finding dreams that I don’t understand
like slow moving pictures circling around in my head
and the ground on which I’m placed on
makes an uncomfortable grave for my bones to lie
just dead in their place, not moving anywhere fast
Dear dark blue, dark blue
Yes, I have been alone in a crowded room
and the heat stuck to my tongue making it impossible to answer
it’s not like anyone tried to converse
the room spun so fast
While I was standing still
I got dizzy off the sound
dark blue, dark blue
yes, I have been alone in a crowded room
So I follow the same lead
scared I’m annoying everyone I see
sew my lips tight at the seams
and you’ll never hear my voice ringing in your ears again
smoke rings, smoke rings
dancing above my head
and all I can think is “Happy new year first love”
if what we had was even love at all
circles, circles
of people dancing on the floor
I was there too, did you notice at all?
I’ll sit down and rest my bones
sink into the leather and get lost in the forever
that I’m imagining in my thought bubbles
pop each one, because they’ll never happen
Dear dark blue, dark blue
Yes, I have been alone in a crowded room
and the heat stuck to my tongue making it impossible to answer
it’s not like anyone tried to converse
and the room spun so fast
while I was standing still
I got dizzy off the sound
dark blue, dark blue
yes, I have been alone in a crowded room
Lets countdown another wasted year
lets countdown to another year that’ll end just the same
lets start the countdown to the end of our lives
the end of everything we have known
yes, I have been alone in a crowded room
I've written pages upon pages
trying to rid you from my bones.
