An Angle (Band) - Like A Locket, Like A Necklace, Like A Bracelet lyrics

My father I failed You as a man Can't keep up with these hours That the sunny sweaty day hands My card was never checked in And I slept through the morning And most of the afternoon But who cares because god never calls me No he never cares for me And my father I don't intend to let you down I'm sorry but these days keep getting longer Well it's time, time to get up Take a shower change your clothes Make yourself some breakfast And off to work you go And take your pills have a cup Get home and watch TV Then read a book and it's off to dreaming But too bad its 4 in the morning And everybody simple is sleeping And soon my body will show that same fate But instead I'll wake up around 6 or 8 I'll go downstairs get a drink Sit down at that computer Paint some words and shy away While everyone is working And hate yourself and feel alone And an*lyze this My boy you just need to stop worrying And yes your friends they all love you And yes your family well they do too But nobody's gonna give you all they should Or that or this or that or this or this Well I know this boy That could sell me vitamins He says get a gla** swallow down and you'll be happy Then I'm feeling fine I'm talking much I'm making things work And this is how I'm supposed to live And for now I'm watching the TV sets And I need a gla** to save my chest And my heart is beating so rapidly That I can't seem to concentrate on sleep So here we go another day To drive off onto Dougla** And grab a cup and lay on gra** And talk to all your fake friends And sit and stare at the cars fly by Head feels weak you wonder why You could never be like them But that's the part of the deal my friend Yes your doctors have been telling you this since you were 10 That nothing would ever be what you wanted Because you seem to look for too much perfection Well it's summertime lets get a girl And undress and your drunk We'll roll around my unmade bed and whisper pillow talk We'll speak of names we'll speak of skins We'll even sing a song About how we are simply in love But you know she's never coming my friend Yes the only girl that will save me And I'll never have to write another tune About this girl she broke my heart We're through So come on mark Lets drive to San Francisco Yea yell at cars you'll tell a joke And we'll just be smiling then How funny it seems that we have been making these words work Since we were children Well is guitar really saving us? Or could it be just coincidence And i'm glad to know that my only true friend You've got my side when I'm dying So I'm coming to visit you my brothers We'll have a drink and share another and another And we'll talk of story girls and future mishaps And how we will fit into them And you'll ask me how are my nephews and nieces You say they're doing fine Do you miss them? And I'm sorry I haven't been around that often But...but..but I swear I swear I swear I'll make it up So I'm coming home to see you Gina We'll go to Monterey and snap some photos of this day You'll tell me that I'm a fool and that I don't know the truth Because I don't believe you Well maybe this time she can get it right Or maybe this time she will be right Or maybe this time I could just say to you Hey I f**ed up and I told her that we're through And so come today I'll be sleeping in my bed I'll circle the fan that sits right above my head And ill try to count as many that go around I guess Before my eyes go red And I'll try to keep moving In the slumber world Yea that's where I make up all my beauty there Like I wish that only simple ignorance Was tied around my neck Like a necklace Like a locket Like a trinket Like a poem Like a song and Like a girl and And like a movie script And like you And like you And like you And like you you you And you you you And you And you And you
