Tragic Lyrics - Together/apart - Grieves

[Verse 1:] 

They say that lightning never strikes twice 

In the same spot when it's landed 

You ought to see the thundercloud I'm trapped in 

Head down looking for a tactic 

Trying to find a way up out the gravity around me 

I'm attached to stuck 

Floating on luck like a river raft was 

Spitting up love like it's ipecac 

If in fact there's a quicker path to diminish that 

I'm a get a first class ticket just to finish last 

Often, who's watching, chip another crooked ass tooth on my options 

The blues never had a use for it's caution 

And cut right through me like a razor bladed harsh wind 

Yeah, I guess I'm living off a habit, 

And digging up graves just to reseal the casket 

Bold-faced, marching to the middle of the havoc 

Just so I can sing a song about it all 

Tragic 

[Hook:] 

You act like this can save me, hey hey hey 

You act like I don't know, you don't know 

I act like I've gone crazy, and all of this can save me, 

But I don't really know 

[Verse 2:] 

I don't know no more my brother, me and my blue sensitivities 

Look at all that this music has given me 

Intimately in tune with my misery 

I can spin bad news to a symphony 

I ain't a boy in a bubble, I'm a man in touch with my joy and my trouble 

Got a fighting chance at love in this ugliness, 

I think hope deserves to know what she's up against 

Blues and 12s I write 24s, life's twice as hard, fighting with the cards 

Those chosen the moment we were born 

Highs and lows, joys and woes, they're yours 

Chase the blues and one day you're gonna catch them 

Sing em all you want, you gonna wish you never met them 

Humming the ballad of the paper-thin jacket 

Trapped in the rain again 

Tragic 

[Hook:] 

You act like this can save me, hey hey hey 

You act like I don't know, you don't know 

I act like I've gone crazy, and all of this can save me, 

But I don't really know 

[Verse 3:] 

I don't know what the deal is, 

But lately I've been looking through a thick glass 

Squinting just to see the smidgen of the kickbacks 

My little ticker only flickers with a mishap 

And lashes out at me every time that I admit that 

Look at what I did with the ashes, 

Smoking in the boy's room, ditching out of classes 

Hands full of shattered stained glass with a grasp tight around it 

Just enough to make a couple wounds last 

As scars, medals, rose pedals, 

Scattered on the path like it's Hansel and Gretel 

Burn from the water I splash from the kettle 

In efforts to make a documentation of what I went through 

Hell, I guess I'm playing from the attic, 

Pulling up the floorboards, digging up the hatchet 

Firm footed, standing in the middle of the static 

Just so I can sing a song about it all 

Tragic 

[Hook:] 

You act like this can save me, hey hey hey 

You act like I don't know, you don't know 

I act like I've gone crazy, and all of this can save me, 

But I don't really know
