lyrics
Yesterday, I heard about
An interesting arrangement
It's funny how these circumstances
Turn us both to strangers
And yeah, I know it's best
For everyone entangled
To leave it locked away
For when you're ready,
And you're feeble
I'll try to make you think it's bright
Out here, in this dead and broken night
This side of the olden, worn, and
Sun-kissed golden song
It's gone
It's gone
But when everyone gets too much for you to handle
(I don't know what's left)
And everything gets too much for you to buy
(I can't see, myself)
We'll drop dead thinking that we all just want the same thing
(I could just get by)
Living in a house, with some people you want nearby
And don't you understand
That I am getting older?
And you're not any different,
I suggest you think this over
And just forget the lie
Which is beating at your center
Follow it and you'll be free,
But would that be so much better, now?
I'll try to make you think it's bright
Out here, in this dead and broken night
This side of the olden, worn and
Sun-kissed, golden song
It's lost in time, now
But you've been lost awhile,
You're gone
But when everyone gets too much for you to handle
(I don't know what's left)
And everything gets too much for you to buy
(I can't see, myself)
We'll drop dead thinking that we all just want the same thing
(I could just get by)
Living in a house, with some people you want nearby
I must stop living in this mind
That I'm not supposed to be satisfied
But, god damn, I'm alive
And I'm just hiding
An interesting arrangement
It's funny how these circumstances
Turn us both to strangers
And yeah, I know it's best
For everyone entangled
To leave it locked away
For when you're ready,
And you're feeble
I'll try to make you think it's bright
Out here, in this dead and broken night
This side of the olden, worn, and
Sun-kissed golden song
It's gone
It's gone
But when everyone gets too much for you to handle
(I don't know what's left)
And everything gets too much for you to buy
(I can't see, myself)
We'll drop dead thinking that we all just want the same thing
(I could just get by)
Living in a house, with some people you want nearby
And don't you understand
That I am getting older?
And you're not any different,
I suggest you think this over
And just forget the lie
Which is beating at your center
Follow it and you'll be free,
But would that be so much better, now?
I'll try to make you think it's bright
Out here, in this dead and broken night
This side of the olden, worn and
Sun-kissed, golden song
It's lost in time, now
But you've been lost awhile,
You're gone
But when everyone gets too much for you to handle
(I don't know what's left)
And everything gets too much for you to buy
(I can't see, myself)
We'll drop dead thinking that we all just want the same thing
(I could just get by)
Living in a house, with some people you want nearby
I must stop living in this mind
That I'm not supposed to be satisfied
But, god damn, I'm alive
And I'm just hiding
