lyrics
I thought I'd play by the rules, but the rules played me
You made me a criminal for wanting to be free
Dark obsessions won't help anyone.
Canister shot in the dark, old dog lying down to die in the car's park
I was a man of the sea, but the ground was supporting my feet
The moon I ran into you was the same my mind stopped obeying me
And health is a black hole meant to suck up all this alcohol
not unlike the one you gave to me
When the clock goes off I walk to the bus stop
I watch the birds fly by, I listen to their cry
Sometimes I lie in bed trying to keep an empty head
or talk to the sunshine kids about the weather
Oh material world, why can't you leave me be
I've been done by every lie you've made people feed me
and I've no need of you or your society
You were lying where I'd left you when all of those leaves had fallen down
and there was nothing I could do to sweep away all of that awful brown
Horror and animals from my past were giving me dreams I could not say
And how you cut your life in pieces, things I could never understand
The comfort that you lay beside me; I became a feather of a man
When I woke from the drunk, I thought I was always asleep
My soul was not made for your taking
it's the only thing I was not faking
Oh spiritual world, why can't you leave me
You've made my consciousness a string that picks up everything
Everything everything everything everything
