lyrics

to be told of a way
to keep your thoughts inside your head
instead of something that you gotta say
a simple gift a little sign
of the way they seem to smile
of how they always seem to have a spine

things to do and things to buy
'cause you gotta find a way
to use up all the time until you die
copy one another you
fill it full of all your things
so it can know nothing too

it's not so hard just pretend
that you know why we're all here
and tomorrow do it again
and things might be as they appear

a little time on your own
to practice standing in a crowded room
and not feeling you're all alone
keep it kind try to be still
as the water's pouring through the floor
and the room is slowly filled

it was fine no need to think
when you never feel a thing
only feeling like another drink
staying home staying inside
while the leaves are in the ground
and the roots are waving in the sky

it's not so hard just pretend
that you know why we're all here
and tomorrow do it again
and things might be as they appear
