Intro
(acoustic scratching noises preparing the
listener for a definitive rocker)
the city has sex with itself i suppose
as the concrete collides, well the scenery grows
and the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed
having exposed 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 but then 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
and i?ve cried and you would think i would better for
it but the sadness just sleeps and it stays in your
spine for the rest of your life and i?ve learned and
you?d think i?d be something more now, but it just
goes to show it is not what you know its what you were
thinking at the time. (then)
repeat same repetition of verse/chorus music for last
Verse
this feeling?s familiar, i?ve been here before
in a kitchen this quiet i waited for a sign or just
somethingthat might reassure me of anything close to
meaning or motion (with a reason to move)i need
something i want to be close to
and i scream, but i still don?t know why i do it
because 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 i am is a passing event that
will be forgotten.
