Lyrics
Could someone please explain The lifeless and mundane World I've built around me
Some by design Most by default Each piece has its place And each place with a face
But they're all so very ordinary
And each day that passes She tightens her leash And they sharpen their teeth While I sit on my hands And do all that I can To hold back their advances
And then one day it will be When the world says to me Thanks for your trouble Now gather your rubble Your handfuls of memories Of love and of joy
And your truckloads of misery Your self hating toys And get out of the way For the next poor fool to see All the joy this life will fail to show him
Then miraculously he broke free Of the grinding routine He sailed to tahiti and found his true love And he trampled my ashes
With no need for sunglasses He turned to the bright shining sun I'm free No chain no shackles no pain I'm free No hate and no fear No misery here
I didn't want to go out anyway I'd rather stay home any day Time moves now and then and back again You are the dream that I will never realize
And then he screamed at me If only you had bled a little more You too could be breathing just like me Everyone wants to be someone Why not you?
And then he waved at me as I withdrew I can honestly say This world is gonna miss you
As I realize the world outside Has quietly passed me by I think to myself That should have been mine
