In a cave of remembrance
Lost in shadows of yesterday
Trying hard to find out
Just how I got this way
The whitest pure form of angel
Has guided me to this place
And in the center of my fears
I see a familiar face
So surreal and so alive
I can run and I cannot hide
So I fight these shades of fear
But all I want is to get out of here
Snowy circles of solace
Taking me so far away from me
Trying hard to get out
Of these things ghat I see
Deceptive lies that they tell me
Throw me into the burning hells
Can't seem to find an escape
And I all I hear are the tolling bells
CHORUS
Third Wheel
I just want to disappear
Not be around this anymore
To vanish without a trace
I feel like I am just a pain
A cumbersome nuisance
That lingers in your face
Is it so hard for you to talk to me
Well I guess so
Everyone else takes precedence
What if I was not here to rest my neck
On the sidewalk
So you can step on me again
I said I do
I said I love ou too
But it's not enough
I just can't be with you
What I can I do
How can I get through to you
Is it too late
Can I not be with you
I feel like I am losing worth
And soon I'll be just a
Forgotten disuses soul
When will you finally come around
So I can help you to
Get us out of this hole
That day seems just around the bend
Well I guess not
Tomorrow is just a disappointment
And I'm left sitting here again
All by myself
In this run-down old apartment
CHORUS
Can I not be with you
So say my name and get away
You might forget but I know you'll pay
The news will rave, the people will say
That third wheel took his life today...
Footprints are visible on this old carpet
I've trodden them since 2:30am
And ten hours later I'm still pacing round
People stop by and I ignore them
I didn't sign up to face this reality
Somehow it seems I got volunteered
And how do you come to grips with tragedy
How do you stand up to your recessed fears
I cannot feel or think or cry anymore
I'm as empty as the glass on this old table
I'm wasting away in a dark cloud
Like the cigarette burning in my hand
I'm looking out of this foggy old window
Trying to see if maybe it's not real
And then there's another knock, condolence
And then it hits me in the face again
I didn't enter to win this catastrophe
But my name was drawn from a phantom lottery
But now it's here and it's upon me
And trying to live just takes it out of me
CHORUS
Now look around you
See these faces
Haunting you with their existence
I'm surrounded
No escaping
Memories of better days
And they're gone
Cannonball
I've never been less alive
I don't think anything's worth my time
Can't seem to get free at all
Nothing's breaking down these walls
I have hidden in a shell
But in this darkness you can't tell
In your world I feel so small
Falling fast just like a cannonball
So can you see me wasting slowly
Washed up on the shores of the sea of time
I need you but I can't feel you
Return to me so I can finally feel alive
I could have lived but I chose
To lie dormant and reap what you have sown
The seeds of nothingness begin to spread
Taking root in the shadows of my head
Slowly but surely softly dying
No more reason it's not worth trying
So try again if you care at all
Stop me from sinking down like a cannonball
CHORUS
