Solemn Show World

歌詞

I remember I recall frozen streets and ice and white and blue Detritus of last night's songs, toes so numb I wish the day were through I'm never now but here somehow the details starkly true This room could be off any hall that window open bright to any view Still I strain to take it all in, colors all at once many and few A blander panorama bleached by pasts that I once knew Slender February pall no our fenders icicles that grew Morning churns hungover calls operators standing by for you The weather dropping off the walls, I'm buried like the truth Wires tangled up they crawl through the trees that camouflage their ruse Single cliche raven caws savoring the metaphors abused The innocence, the wait involved before that black bird flew Cancel out this awkward pause, a pseudo system shiftily pursued Sitting on a couch in thaw at the mercy of mistakes accrued A somewhere like the others sorely lacking in the new And the droning of commuter cars Hollow diners empty bars A solemn show world offs itself for you Escape the house that looks like all the others in a sinking mass produced Towns as wide as they are tall shrinking in a dwindling debut I've left it now but still somehow I'm sitting there eroding stare The blanket's cold
