 These leaves aren't as loud as I'd prefer

 This machine doesn't love me enough

 Tomorrow won't see last year occur

 And is the sun too bright?

 This wheel is not sufficiently square

 Is there nothing else to breathe than air?

 This ground is much too hard to tear tonight

You can't dance to this smell at all

This book just tastes like words

This house of cards will someday fall

And is the sea too wet?

These buzzing bees make too much honey

Why can't this holocaust be funny?

Your love for me won't earn you money, I bet

 I'll take the world on my own terms

 I want disease but not the germs

 I want the moon to cling to me

 So let your silence sing to me

 An endless endless symphony

 Till all I lost instinctively returns

Your teardrops cannot change the wind

Your hands can't see the waves

The things I say can I not rescind?

Is every word a vow?

Why won't this house provide me rain?

Why can't this deafness hear me complain?

And why wasn't I told that love is pain till now?

I try to stave off your anger with feathers

And I try to sleep but the days bleed together

With a needle and thread I would hold back the weather

But the tide's coming in

And my courage was never brave enough

And my hunger never gave enough

And my abandonment never saved enough to start again

So I'll make the world on my own terms

Give me disease but not the germs

I need your moon to cling to me

So let your silence to sing to me

An endless endless symphony

Till all I lost instinctively returns

The leaves cover up all I've become

This machine has long broken down

Tomorrow is gone, today is numb

And the sun's asleep

Your wheels have carved a street so wide

And you've missed the point but still denied

In hopes somehow that all your pride you'd keep
