Black Boxes

from It Never Rains by The Acid Rains

lyrics

guess i should get going now too
nothing for me this side of the moon
been thinking about what's good for me
you're not helping
making me dream of you

cracked spines
foxing on the pages
this book hasn't been opened up in ages
maybe there's something inside to discover
this book belonged to your godfather's mother

the things we say to people we don't like
maybe they wait for us down at the end of the line
where the sky ain't so bright
where the lies ain't so white

and it won't break a marriage
and it won't make the headlines
but you might find it coming alive at the worst times

guess i'll make my way home by signs and omens
nothing for me here that i ain't already broken
been wondering if it's good to be free
even in my dreams i have never seen the ocean

black boxes rocks along the shore
maybe if we keep digging we'll find more
maybe underneath we'll find new lovers
buried bones under the covers

and it wont break a marriage
and it won't make the headlines
but you might find it coming alive at the worst times

the things we say when we're already gone
counting the lines on the page before they're drawn
and we haven't moved on
there's nowhere to move to

how many mistakes can you make before it's too many
i'm asking for you
how many times can you say things that ain't true
before you start believing them too
how many times, exactly, will they forgive it
is there some kind of upper limit

and it won't break a marriage
and it won't make the headlines
but you might find it coming alive at the worst times
and it won't break a marriage
and it won't make the headlines
but you might find it coming alive at the worst times
