lyrics

All of us here are bored from thinking
Someone kind of mentioned that the ship we are on is sinking,
You are bailing out water with teaspoons to blankets,
choices are made with no want to understand this...
So I realized my compass and started just walking,
It was in no pocket and no fingers quite clutched it,
like abbreviations are short for something,
like a person with no words who really says something,
With all the heat a degree feels like nothing,
I could barely notice it was not my own shoes I walked in,
That compass was quiet like leaves in my pocket
and a glimmer of sunlight never quite touched it
well, all the people I saw there their hands were empty
and if they empty their hearts a bullet might fill it,
those that empty their hearts live in a mansion of prisons
and those that aren't emptied their hearts know its trying to be emptied.
But me I memorize my words before I sing them
then I run into sand that I know I will sink in,
I lay on the equator so that there is no half that I am in,
My compass was quiet like leaves in my pocket, well.

All of us here we are bored from thinking
someone kind of mentioned that the ship we are on is sinking
and bailing out water with forks to cupped hands
choices are made with no want to understand this well,
Like abbreviations are short for something.
