Staring Down The Barrel Of The Middle Distance Lyrics - Live At The Olympia - Rem

Now the hope for the future took a pounding in the parking lot 

And the answer for today is all I got 

When your name is called the lights went down 

The time is the essence excuse me 

And I'm blinking at the vanishing point of what I thought 

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance 

God knows I've tried 

I close my eyes 

I close my eyes 

I close my eyes 

I greet despair to a standard prayer 

If you call for the future I don't care 

And I turn you round to face me here 

There's a compass raised with a familiar tone 

With a voice that needles me to the bone

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance 

God knows I've tried 

I close my eyes 

I close my eyes 

Whose position shifts cause its been effect 

If you can't hit play cause the button sticks 

Ignorance is bliss, I can't say 

There's a compass raised with familiar tone 

With a voice that needles you to the bone 

You're left with chaos, static and delay 

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance 

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance 

God knows I've tried 

I close my eyes 

I close my eyes 

I close my eyes 

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance 

God knows I've tried 

I close my eyes 

I close my eyes
