Everyday is sad and gray, Since my fortune washed away There’s nothing my heart wants to say, In all the records that they play
Maybe God is weeping because Last night while he was sleeping An enemy came from a company name And they poisoned the rain that we’re drinking
I felt it since my birth, But can’t explain the way that it tasted A sadness filled the earth Until a verse came and replaced it
With light to dry our circuits When the breakers all went berserk And then our hearts stopped, Tremble for second in a circle Then wait for the bomb drop
Now I can feel it all closing in, A melancholy cloud that controls my friends It’s heavy from a childhood, we’ve all been, Raised under lines in the sky that swim
Through currents that gave auras Just like the few that came before us They offered up advice but still We ran toward what floored us
What did you expect from a bloody nose kid, Deaf to the lines that adults forbid You never felt pain till you heard the skid, Of the tires, and your bare feet, and where we lived
I thought that we grew up Because the clouds all went away For seven years of sunshine But now they’ve all returned to stay
Can we repay our youthful sins With notches in our summer skin Blind to times of our future crimes Until the bricks came loose and destroyed our spines
Now every day is sad and gray, Since my fortune washed away There’s nothing my heart wants to say In all the records that they play
Everyday is sad and gray, Since my fortune washed away Everyday is sad and gray
All my love has washed away, Darkness fills up most the days Ever since the rain brought In the stains of veins and tooth decay
There’s no one left to hold me Inside this city that’s overflowing With anguish, we can’t vanquish, The pain that destroyed our language
The future looks like comedy, But I've been drowning in their laughter, And the evidence that has been sent to my residence Holding a subpoena that demands a higher precedent
Fear is my only feeling Tracing tags out on the ceiling Praying that when it’s all over I’ll be someone more appealing
Today and yesterday My life was filled with all wrong ways Aching through my legs and fingers, Quavering, becoming an electric clinger
Still I remember tales Of freedom from this heavy spell That wounded all our kingdom And turned it into a wishing well
Somewhere there’s somebody Dancing holding hands and making wishes Pronouncing the love they found And coloring with graceful switches
I’d die just to trade their place, Then I’d have something good to say All my love has washed away, Darkness fills up most the days
