|
The city has sex with itself |
|
I supposeAs the concrete collides well, the scenery grows |
|
And the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed |
|
They undressed their wounds for each other |
|
And there is a boy in a basement with a four track machine |
|
He's been strumming and screaming all night down there |
|
The tape hiss will cover the words that he sings |
|
They say it's better to bury your sadness |
|
In a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring |
|
To awake from its sleep and burst into green |
|
Well, I cried |
|
And you would think |
|
I would better for it |
|
But the sadness just sleeps and it stays in my spine |
|
For the rest of my life |
|
And I've learned |
|
And you'd think |
|
I'd be somethin' more now |
|
But it just goes to show it is not what you know |
|
It's what you were thinking of half the time |
|
This feeling's familiar |
|
I've been here before |
|
In a kitchen this quiet, |
|
I waited for |
|
A sign of just something that might reassure me of anything close |
|
To meaning or motion with reasons to move |
|
I need something |
|
I want to be close to |
|
And I scream but |
|
I still don't know why |
|
I do itBecause the sound never stays it just swells and decays |
|
So what is the point? |
|
Why try to fight what is now so certain? |
|
The truth is all that is a passing event that will be forgotten |
