The Darkness Was Vague Lyrics



The darkness was vague, but decipherable, and I starred

at the clock radio

And it whispered to me your responsible. So I starred

at my bedroom door

And the dim outlines it made

On into the kitchen I fade

Where all the bottles and cans are out of the cupboards

Litte whores in a bed of stains and crumbs

Well they whispered and they called me sailor

In livid sticky little graveyards

And my eyes turn to the windows of the door

That divided my world into something manageable



So its over now

All your running round

All your friends

When you're not around



They say this is it

Well you know it never is



So my shoes hit the street and ice and snow

And my soles scuff the sleet and salt and stone

You know all our leaves where weeping there

Like little fish gasping for air and climbing

Into lonely little piles trying to reach the surface

Persistent but ignorant

And I realized we are no different

All of us here on the ground

Ghosts of summer unaware we've drown



So its starting now

All your running round

All your frinds

When you're not around



They say this is the one

Well you know it always was
