lyrics
Before you got here
I think I might have been just
Staring out of and into nothing
If you use clichés
Then you'll get nowhere near me
Please use real words when you're speaking
I've told you of
A small tin of objects
That help me to remember who I am
And you think that I'm
Bizarre and pretentious
And I think you're amazing all the time.
There is a story
With a simple irony
Children - one young, and one is older
The older cries at night
For fear the younger one will be
Taken harshly away forever
The younger one
Is crying now most nights
Because the elder's actually gone
And you'd rather I
Said nothing of either
So I would rather say nothing at all.
Silence is bad enough
It's bad enough
But nothing's worse than speaking without real words
And I've had enough
I've had enough
The next thing that you hear will be the door.
'Cause I've told you of
The people in my life
The ones I love all in a photograph
And you think that I'm
A long way from virtue
And I think I'm a long way from your heart.
I think I might have been just
Staring out of and into nothing
If you use clichés
Then you'll get nowhere near me
Please use real words when you're speaking
I've told you of
A small tin of objects
That help me to remember who I am
And you think that I'm
Bizarre and pretentious
And I think you're amazing all the time.
There is a story
With a simple irony
Children - one young, and one is older
The older cries at night
For fear the younger one will be
Taken harshly away forever
The younger one
Is crying now most nights
Because the elder's actually gone
And you'd rather I
Said nothing of either
So I would rather say nothing at all.
Silence is bad enough
It's bad enough
But nothing's worse than speaking without real words
And I've had enough
I've had enough
The next thing that you hear will be the door.
'Cause I've told you of
The people in my life
The ones I love all in a photograph
And you think that I'm
A long way from virtue
And I think I'm a long way from your heart.
