The city has sex with itself I suppose As the concrete collides well, the scenery grows And the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed They undressed their wounds for each other And there is a boy in a basement with a four track machine
He´s been strumming and screaming all night down there The tape hiss will cover the words that he sings They say it´s better to bury your sadness In a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring To awake from its sleep and burst into green Well, I cried And you would think I would better for it But the sadness just sleeps and it stays in my spine For the rest of my life And I´ve learned And you´d think I´d be somethin´ more now But it just goes to show it is not what you know It´s what you were thinking of half the time This feeling´s familiar I´ve been here before In a kitchen this quiet, I waited for
A sign of just something that might reassure me of anything close To meaning or motion with reasons to move I need something I want to be close to And I scream but I still don´t know why I do it Because the sound never stays it just swells and decays So what is the point? Why try to fight what is now so certain? The truth is all that is a passing event that will be forgotten
