lyrics

in your mind
it is still 1993
there’s a broken door frame
and it hangs like wishes you’ve made
for a healthy kid
or a husband to blame
when you lose who you are
and you’re tired
because you have not stopped moving for months
the last several years
the ‘empty’ has broken the gates
and we see it
in all the ways you’ve tried to run from
we see it

if i had an answer
i wouldn’t need to scale these walls at night
when you need me the most
i still hide
still believing in something
i’ve proved it wrong for the thousandth time
august in a dull heat,
i’m afraid you’ll always hate me
for what i let happen to us
because this was real to me

but have some faith in your life
because you’ve been dying thus far anyway
i’ve seen you lighten up occasionally
and it’s great when you do
if you offer me something new
maybe i will take one
we’ll make arrangements again
