Lyrics
The darkest way to start the day
An empty can and a plan of escape
With an almanac glued to your side
White sneakers walking off the grass
To step on the driveway and stand on the cracks
Holding a weathervane high
It's half past six before
Channel eleven broadcasts their report
Five foot ten brown hair with brown eyes
In moquette seats on twenty two
She draws out her dreams and reminds herself that they're true
Cause barking dogs never lie
She's mouthing out
I'm lost and I don't need finding
I know but I need reminding
Flesh and blood is nature only
You haven't yet but you'll see my best
I don't want to die only to take a rest
I'd rather be alone than lonely
There's acid in my stomach
And water in my mouth
You promised that it was all for me
But it was only for yourself
From here it's a wonderful view
Four walls and a bed with no room for two
The stock photos in the frames will be my family some day
But for now this mess is mine
And when I clean it still will be
To unlock the front door I reach in the drawer
And pull out the only key
A walk beneath sunshine and concrete
A full heart and an empty mind
If someone asks I'm doing fine
I'm singing now
I'm lost and I don't need finding
I know but I need reminding
Flesh and blood is nature only
You haven't yet but you'll see my best
I don't want to die only to take a rest
I'd rather be alone than lonely
