lyrics

Dreams of leaving
Woke in the same snake pit
Seething
Gold's been given for even less
And I know that you'd know best
Winter made you see the balcony
As something sweet for a leaping
Fuck this feeling
But I hate the heat

Throw one up for aging uncynically
Shoulders Herculean
Flowing cup from blazing the giving tree
But days are always taking

All I want's my health and hot clothes
And a morning hug
And maybe a "good job" for not giving up
I don't have no 30k
But I am still vein (as fuck)
And I want my nose to look good
Maybe that's okay

Can't be quick to bed
Too much work to do
Have to make the bread
And the dinner too

Jesus Hussein Christ
Three three when he died
But his friends were shit
From basement we'll rise

Insignificance
Can't be how it ends
I did everything
That they told me to

Oh well, you tried
Hope your ride home is nice
And you get what you wanted in time
Endless time...

I read the news today, oh fuck
(oh fuck! oh fuck! oh fuck!)
Like any sane person
It makes me feel insane
I gotta let my eyes align
Before I do this to my brain
The weight of the world's the same
Regardless of how many share the strain
What good's a song against our fate?
(not great! not great! not great!)
But Sandy saw Normandy
And still came back to paint
Bend a mountain in half
With his love for the craft
I still see him
Cardinal red against Snowtown slate

Hello!
Gracious Gift of Tears
Grant severance from these repeating years
There's a clearing in the clouds...

Insignificance
Can't be how it ends
I did everything
That they told me to

Oh well, you tried
Hope your ride home is nice
And you get what you wanted in time
Endless time...

Insignificance
Won't be how it ends
Like Lala saying "bitch"
Man, I live for this!

Oh well, you tried
Maybe another life
Will open its arms to you
Why, endless time?
