lyrics

I haven't had a good dream since reality kicked in.
This home is where the heart is, though it's just a roof.
The shelter's useless.

So I'll sing my songs, and I'll finally find
Clarity has always been blind.
Perception is a luxury when you are miles behind.

Write this on your walls, make sure the world can see it
'Cause these are the days I hate the taste of everything.
I'm on my own again, hoping for my own relevance.
And the tides will flow regardless.

I'll sing these songs; you can finally find
Clarity has always been blind.
Perception is a luxury and curse all at the same time.

It's hard enough to speak with a shark stuck in your throat.
These are my own reasons for the seasons now.
This headache takes the form of voices in the wind
Crying out for reason, hanging relevance.

We can sing our songs 'til our intentions become our lives.
And though I know we are miles behind.
And if you find me black and blue, I can pride myself on truth,
And give an old cynic's salute.
What you've got on me, boy, is not so hard to cope with now.
So let your conscience out!
