Lyrics

A menagerie of green is sleeping silently at ease
If the wind hummed both our mothers' favorite hymnal song
And though I felt indignant 'bout the cause of the events
It was apparent very early I was no the cause
Oh fee and fie, oh foe, and then fum
There is a giant looming over us
While she wants what she wants
Just summer seeds planted in recklessness

So very very lightly on the strings of what we are
There is a hollow yellow yelling at the stars tonight
While feuding fading fury sunk in deeply to the bone
As if they'd tried to figure out what they would like to try
While you and I and everyone else
We have no clue what we are doing here
But we want what we want
And never thought that we could want too much

And though I speak
These words do not mean
That I have ever really had an understanding
Or can I try
To do what I like
And hope that there is nothing gained from this pretending
So I am born
From now till I'm gone
When I leave I won't be waiting on forever
All my life I've done what I liked
Though there are times that I have wanted to be better

(I shall be
All that I can see
Floating in and out
Of this life.)

(But I have found
These words do not resound
But float among our sleeping eyelids.)

(When night descends
And lays me in my bed
I'll turn to face the silence morning.)
