lyrics

The joy of the morning comes
Seeps and creeps into my window
Greens and yellows consume the grey
Sunblade shaven shadows drawn
Away
God is in His Heaven
And all is right with the world
The doubts of the night
Everything’s gonna be alright
I'm living in the land of the sun
“Don't worry you're still young”
Gonna get up and have some fun
After all, why not?
The weatherman said that it’d be hot
Is there something wrong with sun today?
Would you say it looks somehow further away?
Oh just forget it!
It’s just a passing feeling
Don’t let it
Take away from the newness of the hour
Flowered, now, glowered,
doured, soured, and devoured
Lost lost lost.
At the beginning of the day
Lying in the dark
The time is 3:45
Every time it changes
I’m a little less alive
I lie down to sleep each night.
Alone in my mind
And all the hours I lie still
The time is mine and mine to kill
Every tick of the clock an unheeded warning.
I’m a dead man resurrecting
Less and less every morning
And nothing now that I have been told
Is anything I haven’t known
For all the things I’ve learned
I’ve never grown
What the hell is wrong with me
Because I detest myself
But they tell me drugs can help
And I hope that they’re right
Cuz these side effects fucking bite
The blue one’s for the sleepless nights
And the white one’s for your lowered sex drive
The lithium keeps you neither low nor high
And this black one can give you meaning to your life
They tell me I’m gonna wish I was young
Oh God how I wish that I wished I was young
But I don’t I wish I was old
So I could feel the heat
For an understanding of the cold
Now I’m a scream inside a bottle
I’m graffiti in a frame
I’m clean I’m calm I’m happy I’m tame
These children of the morning
For whom Death has no meaning
Ask me where do you want to go son?
Where do you want to go?
I tell them anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Hey have you heard news?
I’m still dazed and confused
After all this time
What a huge surprise
I can’t stop thinking of you
You’re the only one I’m talking to
When I look through dirty windows
At a soiled summer sky here I go again
Remember at your place
That last time I saw your face
You spoke about your faith
Touting love and grace
You made a liar out of me
When I said maybe I could believe
You didn’t believe yourself
Now the story is you fell
But everybody knows that’s not true
I was always the last to know
Where your mind would go
But what my world is coming to
Has nothing to do with you
The joy of the morning comes
But I’m not some chosen one
Nothing’s really wrong
Because God is in His Heaven
So they say
