Lyrics
And maybe I’ve been lost But at what cost? You’re selling me out for a lesser loss And wouldn’t you have guessed? Your mother’s depressed She’s taking this worse than expected It’s been a long, long day What can I say? Will someone make these children go away? I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again There’s nothing left here to defend The earth is sinking in the sea There are bigger things than you and me I’m counting sheep for invisible children Love me sober as I console her For some other reason in our some other hell Love me sober I can’t control her I really think she’s given me the wrong idea… What is it now? Are you really there? Can I accidentally help you? I’m just a statue of a burning man To edify your country There is no movement in your step There’s no persuasion in your heart The youth was wasted on the young The earth is crashing towards the sun And everyone seems colder than warmer, so… Love me sober, as I get older, Invisible gifts in our invisible world Love me sober, I can’t console her I really think I’ve given you the wrong idea… That’s why I had to leave you then To save you from embarrassment From photographs we never took Of condescending nauseous looks Someone direct me please Where can I pay these dues? Of shredded weathered truth To chase away these blues No consolation here for such an awkward heart
