lyrics

These are confusing times that we're living in
My brain is mush and my body is getting thin
All the people around me are losing their heads
They'll cradle their souls in substantial beds

Why won't you talk to me?
Things will work out in the end
Why won't I talk to you?
Nothing I do ever makes sense
Why won't my mind shut up?
Something's disconnected
Where did the fires burn?
The water surrounds us

I'll pick up that book that's in my glovebox
It was a gift, the ribbon's intact and soft
The symbols on the cover are beautiful, are they not?
It'll be first in the pile to rot, my God

The posters are in the corner
They've been there for a year
Another gift from another friend
A guy you knew for a year

(Peach, plum, pear)
(You've changed some)

And all these words and sounds and thoughts
And all of these days and nights and months
And all these children and mothers and dogs
The waves wash away those late night talks

Breathing in and out and in
Praying away sin after sin after sin
Dying in heart and mind and soul
Shut up, the room is getting cold

Why won't you talk to me?
Things will work out in the end
Why won't I talk to you?
Nothing I do ever makes sense
Why won't our minds sync up?
Something's disconnected
Where did the fires burn?
The water surrounds us
