Neon lights up on this roof Never get brighter and never go off Just like me and just like you Average people with average blues How did it come to this? What kind of coverage did we give to ourselves So we wouldn't be lonely? A SEASON OF WORDS A SEASON OF TEARS A HALL OF MIRRORS IN A SEASON OF FEARS SHADOWS ON YOU SHADOWS ON ME SHADOWS ON THE PEOPLE WE WERE MEANT TO BE We might look and we might pry With the eyes of a child But we are not children Children play and children cry Simple things summon the tears to their eyes
We might've been so young But for the constant drone That's making us old The usual distractions Nothing is moving tonight It's the weeds that grow In the cracks of the asphalt Under the streetlights Souls will come and souls will go And trying to get ourselves used to the flow We say goodbye and say hello And anything else that might help us to cope I might've felt the rain I might've seen the sun But the curtains are drawn And it's safe to be lonely
