Standard (EADGBE)

I like looking at the sky as the wind plays through

 The skirts of the trees the silence knows how afraid we are of it

 Cherished memories bleed and bloom our secrets like seeds

 get swept up and carried through our neighborhood

 Safe as houses tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man you’re still young

 and breathing’s easy suck it in

 what a waste this facade

 What a pity we’ve come this far

The rain will fall and baptize our strongholds our sheltered lives

 Closed blinds drawn curtains and vinyl floors can’t hide

 Stained memories bleed and bloom our secrets like weeds

Creeps up to the roof of our neighborhood

Safe as houses tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man you’re still young

 and breathing’s easy suck it in

 What a waste this facade

 What a pity we’ve come this far how luscious denial our devoured minds

 Our thoughts remain impotent our pillows stay fertile

Safe as houses tuck me in

Daylight waits for no man you’re still young

 and breathings easy suck it in

 What a waste this facade

 What a pity we’ve come this far

 What a pity we’ve come this far
