the ambulance drives by
the domestic going on nearby

we sit in silence
while chaos reigns around us

we're not even sad
we're just glad

it's not us

watch them self-destruct
so go ahead and mate
like that's going to help
in all the **** you're bending

all of it you bending it through
it just never ends with you

I'll sit and wait
I'll sit and play
but there where will come a day

the sad day when you knew I was right

i need this
to make me whole?
no, you don't

the pieces that have been broken away
they're gone
bad news
not coming back


so get up
wash your face
enjoy the pieces you still have

it's not scary
wake up
the dreams are over

welcome back
to real life

ah
it all washes away
no worries
just kick'em up

relax

easy as a summer's breeze
beautiful like an autumn's eve

you're a houseplant
you're an object
it doesn't matter what you say
no one is listening anyway

softly patient
will always win
let them destroy themselves
then you begin again

scared
strong

full of so much compassion
when everything is exploding of desperation
when all the walls are falling
you walk through the emotional rubble

surrounding you

living with hope
becomes its own chore
