Automatic Lyrics - Change - Dismemberment Plan

I dunno what brings you 'round again 

I dunno what sends you on your way again, it's not for me to say 

there's a bright light right around the bend 

see it bathe us both in that fluorescent glow, so monstrous and final 

I could see you through the dirty waves 

smiling like a vampire as you disappeared beneath the whitecaps 

but a man can't live for what he saves 

I could feel my toes curl through the yellow sand as I watched you slip away 

Once again the politics of common sense: you do and I don't 

I could tell you it's not true but what's the use, it's automatic 

caught inbetween 

was a star that once burned crazy red 

an ashen globe that spins with dead momentum lost in absolute space 

even as this wavelength pulses dread 

linger like the cold burn of electric shocks, so slow to fade away
