about

I should be making millions, honestly. The universe is cruel and indifferent. 2nd version.

lyrics

The ghost is reaching deep inside
I feel the tendrils crawl behind the dark folds
She sits on a grey and green carpet
It’s hot as hell and I’m trying to sweat it all out
Trying to relax the muscles that flex
Tense with petty indifference
It comes and goes
The wait for a familiar engine hum continues

Now I clearly wasn’t sober enough
But something just did not add up
Regardless of the face the name’s the same
I’ll take you up above the ground
Visit where you used to live
The only way I know to be true
It’s in the past, my darling

No, Doctor, the medicine has yet to take effect
It still hurts with the mark of every second
Soon the view will change
But will my eyes remain
Glued to that same old termite-ridden window pane
Draped in a cloak of selfish contemplation
The questions I ask far too small to mention
Something in the sky
Something that could fly
Something I cannot erase
Because I saw it with my own two eyes
The day is long
She don’t want another song

I had a dream that we spoke at length
And the things that I confessed
Did rend your heart from out your breast
Things again like they were in the past
Our onset: cosmic and magnificent
Our downfall: tragic and stale with death

I keep in mind the things we’re fighting for
Walking down the block and everything is empty
Sagging like the blood that’s in his veins
Where did our city go?

I don’t know, Doctor, but I don’t give a shit
Since when did they care about our part in all this
Somewhere familiar, where I am not sure
But I’m looking at her feet as she’s walking out the door
They were so perfect, so perfectly sculpted
How do you look so good
You’re just so perfectly sculpted
The band began to play
First she grabbed his face
Then they started to sway
They cut to the chase

The day is long
She don’t want another song
