Stoneham Blues

Twenty-some years bouncing off the walls

Never slowed down almost expected to fall

Young lust

Dumb love

Burning out so bright

Long nights

Dead hearts

Running out of time

We moved too fast to feel the needle or the damage done

It's the silence that feels so familiar

The sting of the salt in the wound

A step too close to the ledge

The calm before it all comes crashing in

None of this means anything

It's all fun 'till its not

Things look worse in the daylight

Broke a promise

Saved a sinnеr

What's the point

Sunk a vessel

Sold a story

To a starlеss sky with no hope in sight

It's the silence that feels so familiar

The sting of the salt in the wound

A step too close to the ledge

The calm before it all comes crashing in

Fake a smile through crumbling teeth

Never letting on just what's underneath

And it's a pain you'll never get

A broken bone that wouldn't set

We stand too close to the fault line

Ignore the sound when the ground breaks

Watched it swallow you whole

Into the unknown now the guilt is what remains

It's the silence that feels so familiar

The sting of the salt in the wound

A step too close to the ledge

The calm before it all comes crashing in
