lyrics

Love can seem just like a dog’s life,
short and sweet ‘til it just can’t walk right.
I guess it goes for most everybody else,
I just won’t put it on the shelf
and hope it’ll grow and flourish and flower
knowing all the while the thing’s gone sour.
Some vague hope, some brave joke
is prodding you on and luring you in
to an illusion of an image with no reference.

I feel like I’ve died a thousand times
hoping with each death I’d grow more wise.
So shed my skins and let’s begin
again and again, and when will it end?
My heavens, they turn against me.
Well, I’ve got brief stints of peace
between my purgatories.
Well, maybe it’s not so bad.
Maybe the lows I’ve had
will enrich the highs I’ll have.

I got a lot for my time.
I know the world won’t stand still for my desires.
Each vision is a revision to be revised.
I thought I knew, but I never know.
Well, I feel like a volcano
ready to explode
and cover all the old
with new framework to unfold.
Well, I’m breaking out of the mold.
Let lava cool into new land,
expanding the perimeter to understand.

You only knew
the first tier of the facade
that fortified my fears.
Well, now that it’s all laid bare
there’s just no room for the gloom and despair.
Just remember, just remember to forget,
to forget just what this place meant,
and watch all our amazement
become subject to displacement
and it'll all just fade
and we’ll forget what this place meant.
