Standard (EADGBE)

I like looking at the sky as the wind plays through

The skirts of the trees the silence knows how afraid we are of it

Cherished memories bleed and bloom our secrets like seeds

get swept up and carried through our neighborhood

Safe as houses tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man you’re still young

and breathing’s easy suck it in

what a waste this facade

What a pity we’ve come this far

The rain will fall and baptize our strongholds our sheltered lives

Closed blinds drawn curtains and vinyl floors can’t hide

Stained memories bleed and bloom our secrets like weeds

Creeps up to the roof of our neighborhood

Safe as houses tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man you’re still young

and breathing’s easy suck it in

What a waste this facade

What a pity we’ve come this far how luscious denial our devoured minds

Our thoughts remain impotent our pillows stay fertile

Safe as houses tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man you’re still young

and breathings easy suck it in

What a waste this facade

What a pity we’ve come this far

What a pity we’ve come this far
