Lyrics Mount St. Joseph - A Loss For Words

Mount St. Joseph

How can you sit there in your room like a caged up refugee?
Barely alive and all worn out with the fake plastic trees
Is it the only thing that makes you feel like life has meaning?
The scars are tattooed down your arms
All we wait for is everything that used to matter
Now all that’s left is our hope and battle scars
All we wait for is everything that used to matter
It’s too damn hard to watch you fall apart
What are you trying to find driving late with no headlights?
When you go down that road, you can never go home again
Can’t lie around all day, blood and bone and tooth decay
Down here, you know, no one ever survives
All we wait for is everything that used to matter
Now all that’s left is our hope and battle scars
All we wait for is everything that used to matter
It’s too damn hard to watch you fall apart
It was too damn hard to watch you fall apart
And I remember that day the scent crept from under your door
They found you three days later
You were buried under your sheets
It was too damn hard to watch
As heaven and hell held you down like anchors
And your demons finally lulled you back to sleep
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
Joey, you let them get to you
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
How could you be so careless?
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
Can you hear us from where you are?
All we wait for is everything that used to matter
Now all that’s left is our hope and battle scars
All we wait for is everything that used to matter
It’s too damn hard to watch you fall apart
It was too damn hard to watch you fall apart
