lyrics

When we were simplistic children,
The walk was long and ripe
With color, sharp and immediate
I'm told that it was nice
We found most of it frightening
The chorus of honest mistakes
Unstable, you still hold the weight

The worst of it still
Still frothing at the rim
My hand upon your shoulder
From across the earth
We can never kiss
We can never make love in a tunnel
Behind a mask that does nothing
My gloves are ringing with glee

Could I have been further from the mark?
I want to be loved but it does not happen
There's a truth in the lower layer
That each new love is an excuse made
Why is that grass green at all?
Who is looking after the flock?
I don't think I was better when I was younger
Just frustrated for different reasons
I forget this is better
That I chose to be quiet
That I chased it and arrived here
I'm a clown now, almost purposefully
A living cartoon that needs just like you
You can't see the ceiling, narrowly escaping
Underwriters Laboratories

The gravity of life, so pointed and so personal
That it feels like it's picking a fight with you all the time
And insulting your intelligence to prove a greater point
By seeing just how much you'll sacrifice
When you're afraid

Mining my life for goodness and light
My face is a cluster of unchecked emotion
Of the days I once yawned at
It's just too important now

I was an airplane
No one was listening
I float the zeppelin
But don't take the lessons
