Curiosity let me down Why do I hate what I have found Why do the walls look awful thin How long before the sky caves in
But I got hooked on these blue and purple lights And i found myself in the streetlamps in the dead of night Crystallizing, like the frost around my rib cage A palette colder than the snow falling from outer space
Freeing myself From the hands Finding my life is to my own detriment Finite, caustic in the games we play Dissolving underscores the price you paid
Rain drops Bluer than the sky Tears of someone high above Felled in spirit Will defenseless Recognizing they were selfish Despite all my endless walls Broke the sky down to a fault
And the shards now fall all around My outstretched arms And broken heart
Saving grace is in my lungs Biding up the time here spending All of it pretend inventing Ideas for the passing eye Finding out why days go by
A wooden kid with a furrowed brow Carved this way and made to wonder how How long might we survive Strung up, dancing on this twine Woven out of atmospheric bitter sweet goodbyes
And the notes that I hum To pass the time ------------------- I'll still see you around, right?
