Intro-
N Am
N
I ve yet to see much evidence
N
I remain a little unconvinced
My best is really good enough, or if it s good at all
Colors come and colors go
N
My portrait isn t much to show
I m not the most notable piece that s hanging on the wall
N Am
N
Gather children, have no fear
N
The pyramids we ve piled here
Some day far from now will be covered up in moss
I tread upon this barren ground
N
There s not an echo to be found
Through this murky world I wander, and rest assured I m lost.
I m not looking for an exit, I m not looking for an answer
I m looking for a spot to plant my flag
Maybe on a hill that s covered in lavender
Where old family pets have been buried
We swipe at the passing pigeons to catch and
Release with letters home to carry
Where nobody s ever that hesitant
To split a cab with a stranger
Where those orcas and orangutans
were never in any danger
Mosquitos suck out your cholesterol
Beavers build homes for the homeless
Where kids don t play with matches
And adults don t play with politics
We form our futures from paper machete
And change them as we see fit
your surplus time is stored away
for when you really need it
Where hate tastes like god damn cherries
And we ve already ate it all gone
People will pass and tears will be shed
but we mop up and then we move on
Listen closely because there are echoes
N Am
of the long lost folk who cared
N
Every one of us is a dot, in the line, on the map
That s gradually leading us there
So next time you re crippled and bitter
N Am
And you feel unbearably alone
N
It seems like the walls are closing in,
Maybe it s only cause you have grown
N
