lyrics

Okay birds the place is yours
No said because everyone was dead
The smell of carbon left the air
Nothing but solitude, oh wait who cares

The sun rised like normal
The deer crossed the street
If rocks were people you’d here them speak
But alas I could not care

We spend our lifetimes
Wondering who we are
Sure does seem like a long time
To see whats near as far

No janitors of justice
No juries of fate
Just the hum of air conditioners left on in our wake
I could not care you know
I see it through my own eyes

But this silence aint lasting
Feels to much like home
Saw through earth to cut through bone
Just don’t reach the other side

We spend our lifetimes
Wondering who we are
Sure does seem like a long time
To see whats near as far

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

To my eyes its pleasing
To your eyes It looks the same
To my eyes its needed
The world says it’s a shame

So everything I’m after
And everything I own
Find some consolation
In the fact I’m having fun

We spend our lifetimes
Wondering who we are
Sure does seem like a long time
To see whats near as far
