Bookcase

Lyrics

It wasn't 'til last night I'd know frustration
 It was a thousand times my height
 A thousand times my height
 It cut me up and splayed me like a patient
 It etherised my mind
 And did not stand to fight
 Cause' I know, there are places I can't reach
 And things i'll never be
 And it hurts sometimes though, honestly
 Its sad but not defeat, 'cause I own the inbetween
 And maybe half is all I need
 ♪
 The sky a submarine it looms so heavy
 I covet what I can't and that's my fault
 Worried always, often off the pages
 Worker hands on Thursdays
 Kurt Vonnegut on birthdays
 Please stay
 With the sunlight on your coat
 And a smile I'll always know
 Oh I don't want time to take the sun
 But I'll never have control
 And the dark will always fall
 On the bookcase in the hall
 The fact it lights my day at all
 It warms my heart
 ♪
 But some nights I'm unable to cope
 I get lost in the figures, lie drunk on my own
 With the faded desire of a thing still unknown
 No time for revisions there's no where to go
 And I just take more drugs if I was more robust
 But I just can't get high 'cause i just lose my mind
 So I hope for love but I never look
 So I don't see the signs no I don't pay no mind
 To the sideway smiles or the baited eyes
 Is there blood in me? Am I still alive?
 Is there blood in me? Am I still alive?
 ♪
 Just stay
 With the sunlight on your coat
 And a smile I'll always know
 I don't want time to take the sun
 But I'll never have control
 And the dark will always fall
 On the bookcase in the hall
 The fact it lights my day at all
 It warms my heart
