lyrics

Kicking with the sidewalk freaks

We haven’t slept since late last week

If I’m not careful she ends up in my dreams

So all I get’s an empty head

To fill it full with scenes instead

And have a go beneath your pocket seams

We all thought the Mary cast

Was made of stone through bathroom glass

But then we found she’s made of wood like us

So we carried her across the yard

By her arms from her old guard

To the house white paint chips and gold dust

Same old stars

The only ones I’ve seen up there so far


Mirrors all the same

Tired of my face looking so plain

As long as I can sleep I can’t complain

Today I found no other sound than breathing

I though to think of you

But it seems the clock has swallowed up your face

If this is it then count me out

I’ll go down clean no blood no shout

And from the city streets I’ll dig my grave

Same old stars

The only ones I’ve seen up there so far


Songbirds, come to stay

Beside me on the back porch where I lay

Beside me as the sunshine drifts away

How the birds do sing

Above the leaves and

We must be insane

Not to remember
Simulacrum
