What's lost if it's not gone?
If you never even had what you think you want.
Smile, don't smile, have you caught on?
Try hard, don't start, this laughing heart.
The slanted roof grit, it cuts so deep
These ripped jeans, these hands sting, these skinned knees.
What's that over the line of trees?
It's misery, unquestionably.
A poor perception of what was certain.
Stare at the light that surrounds these curtains.
Eyes asking but what's the purpose?
Say it out loud. Say it's worth it.
The slanted roof grit, it cuts so deep.
These ripped jeans, these hands sting, these skinned knees.
What's that over the line of trees?
It's misery, unquestionably.
Home is where the heart goes.
A struggle that no one chose.
I reap what I did not sow.
Pile it on, just pile it on.
The anvil falls, please keep piling it on.
The weight doesn't feel so wrong.
The problem is it's not heavy enough.
The slanted roof grit it cuts so deep.
These riipped jeans, these hands sting, these skinned knees.
What's that over the line of trees?
It's misery, unquestionably.
