What do you say when no one's really listening
when every point is missing
from the current show?
What do you say when everything's been spoken
it's all become a token
for all we know?
You can distil all your promises into one bright face
you can pretend all the sound you make can fill up that space
between what you want and what you get.
It's finally true, the whole world is exploding
too slowly too be noticed
and no one I know really cares
It's ok, we tell ourselves it's just too late
the sands of time and the winds of fate
and hey I just want to procreate
We don't mind that we don't have the answers
don't even pose the questions
we're too busy posing for family portraits that look quite good.
We can distil all our promises into one bright face
we can pretend all the sound we make can fill up that space
between what we want and what we get
I know what I want and what I'll get.
