lyrics

you come out of the kitchen
on a January night
the room covered in pictures
of the years that you left behind
and you open up a bottle
of seven dollar wine
and rue the day you came to
in 1989

and the broken light fixture
still hasn't gotten better
and the way its light won't touch you
is the same way that you settle
you just lay there underneath it
as your hope is superseded
and the darkness makes you warmer
because it's there where you can't see it

and nothing every changes
even when you thought it could
your dirt and holy water still just turn to mud
you're entangled by the nightmare
of a never dying lie
that somewhere in the circus,
there's a decent place to die.

and the alarm clock in the morning
gives the same old empty warning
that the earth never stopped turning
that the sun is still a-boiling
and the plot you tried to bury
comes out of the cemetery
and the thoughts you tried to dispose of
get heavier to carry

well the day was burnt up and broken
like the one that came before it
your inaction, it proves nothing
but your weakness of the moment
and you never found religion
you just hung on indecision
and you can't call killing brain cells
any kind of vision
