lyrics

You know I’ve seen some funny things
I’ve seen things I thought would make me blind
And I’ve seen angels without wings walking round in circles
Just trying to unwind.
Just trying to unwind.

If all the leaves on all the trees were never really made to be the same shape and size
Why do we call it madness that we should be all different in each other’s eyes

For all our new awakenings
We stumble further in the cave where we first drew breath
Sometimes I swear I look around
And I could never tell that we discovered fire.
And we decide what’s wrong and right, here’s dark and light
And every word is like a bruise that’s black and blue all over you.
Why don’t you just unclench your fist and just admit
You don’t really know anything.
If all the leaves on all the trees were never really made to be the same shape and size
Why do we call it madness that we should be all different in each other’s eyes

Mm.

And we decide what’s wrong and right, here’s dark and light
And every word is like a bruise that’s black and blue all over you.
And every drop of rain that falls just makes no difference at all
So dry your eyes and thank the lord for your tattoo.
