Intro
its pretty hard to remember how it felt back then
the sun never shines on the same skin
kid you think that youre climbing but youre just pulling down
you need so many things to walk around
twenty days in december it was all it took to decide
to kill the thing we'd cared to keep alive
her body broke every daybreak spine ripped as she rose
shes probobly still in some sick bed somewhere
complaining bout the pain i suppose
oh man what a drag to be burdened with a bag
of the brittle little bones of the dreams you had
when you find out youll never have it as good
as the nothing youve had
you're pretty good at forgiving what hasnt happened yet
I said Knock knock, Whos there? Whos there??? you said youd never forget
the only thing that youre sure of is that you just cant decide
one day youre finally gonna fail at fooling yourself
that youre living some kind of life
and you know that its a lie
oh man what a drag to be burdened with a bag
of the brittle little bones of the dreams you had
when you find out youll never have it as good
as the nothing youve had
oh and i do not believe and i laugh as i grieve
and i blow out those bodies breathed in off the breeze
that fall when our friends fell as fast as the leaves
and its your summer of fear
might last o month day a week
or a whole damn year
can you feel it drawing near?
In every port in every pier
whispered in your ear
can you hear it as you crawl
over writing on the wall
in every curtain every call
in your dormitory hall
where all in all is all in all........
you're pretty good at forgiving what hasnt happened yet
I said Knock knock Whos there? Whos there? you said youd never forget
end on
