lyrics
Things are getting brighter
I mean, there’s leaves on the trees
But it’s still so cold
The air is too thin to breathe
And the winter was a long one
I was suspended in time
Rusted parts and a tv
Keeping me from what’s mine
What we had was a fire
That burned out too fast
It chewed up the drywall
And shattered the glass
And it smoked us out
Drove us into the light
So we so what we built
Was something cheap, something trite
So we called out the firemen
We begged them, “Do what you can”
But they robbed us down
To the furniture and the beds
And I know I shouldn’t let that
Speak for the species
If you look hard enough
You’ll still find humanity
Maybe you just won’t find it in me
No, you won’t find it in me
If I never saw a happy couple
I think I’d be all right
‘Cause their love is an insult
It’s burning my eyes
And I know that you can’t make
Something appear
If there’s nothing to start with
But smoke in the air
And I’d love to make it happen
I’d love to put in the time
But I’m too goddamn self-possessed
Living up in my mind
‘Cause the dreams that I dream
Sound better to me
Then living my life
In anonymity
So I guess I’ll stay asleep
I guess I’ll just stay asleep
