The Movies

[Verse 1]
I was given the chance to redeem myself for a recent series of mistakes but did not take it
Realizing immediately afterward that doing nothing was in itself another mistake
It made me wonder if I’ll ever break this pattern because I’m starting to harbor some exponential doubts
I’ll end up living in a basement apartment like a hermit and get pissed off when I’m forced to go out

[Chorus]
So I laid my head down
And started dreaming of you in a compassionate light
I was helping you out, you were holding me tight
I don’t want to deal with the backlash from the truths that I hid
It’s gonna be another day at the movies playing on my eyelids

[Verse 2]
I was trying to somehow cancel out all the bad karma I must’ve created over the years
Figuring it may be the best way quell the impending doom feeling I get in the morning
Although it could’ve been attributed to drinking, smoking, apathy, catastrophe all over the world and bad nutrition
Either way I was really inspired to one day do some nice things or help somebody or try to love someone

[Chorus]
So I laid my head down
Started dreaming of you in a compassionate light
I was helping you out, you were holding me tight
I don’t want to deal with the backlash from the truths that I hid
It’s gonna be another day at the movies playing on my eyelids

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
I laid my head down
Started dreaming of you in a compassionate light
I was helping you out, you were holding me tight
I don’t want to deal with the backlash from the truths that I hid
It’s gonna be another day at the movies playing on my eyelids
