lyrics

I stand in a window of sun
with a neighbors cat
just wondering exactly
what its staring at
'cause I spend most of my time now
gritting my teeth
as I spool away the day
waiting for someone to find me

The words mean nothing to me

Suicide comes to me
when I open my eyes
and I remember to forget
all my friends who have died
in the war against God
with Satan at their side
in the war against Satan
with God by their side!

The words mean nothing to me

One more day
in the search for my soul
I find a tin can
on the side of the road
Rusty and black
with it's lid long pried free
I don't know what it would do
if it didn't have me

There's a black hat in my closet
that rarely seems to fit
though it was only last Sunday
I got my head into it
The congratulations I met
was in my life unmatched
and the pain in my stomach
had dissolved at last

The words mean nothing to me

But today it's far too bright out
for me to see
so I'm stuck in this old cupboard
full of seeds
picking and choosing
what might be best to plant
though I have no shovel,
no ho and no hat.
