It's just a numb dumb sleep
It's just a hole to crawl inside
This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside
It's in a mirror by the beach
Comes from a hometown kick
This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside
It's where they still sleep fast
And in the border stamp click
This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside
A faded vista filled with junk
The tire rubber burned to threads
It's an uncertain focus
There's no fixed ending point
We piss into the sunlight
And throw our used cups on the pile
It's eyes still sticky from the dawn
It's contact lenses dried out
Dismissed with clicking fingers
Our pa**ports bent and torn
The windows close and open
Our bags are searched and thrown
We conceal secret hunger
In case they take that too
And we just need a moment
To claim a climate of our own
This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside
