See me unaware Under false impressions Missing all the markers Secure in my surroundings Oblivious to sure signs Flashing in the rearview Denying all the telltale Signs of your frustration Under anesthesia Not so local anymore Under heavy sedation And looking for more See me unaware Of all of my infractions Tallied in your ledger Totaled up so neatly Adding up to mountains Stacks of imperfections Reaching to the ceiling Then crashing all around us Under anesthesia Not so local anymore Under heavy sedation And looking for more See me unaware

The Weather 02:30
You talk about the weather As if you could contain it As if you could control it As if you had a clue But I hate to tell you How your city’s sinking How your fields are barren You won’t be safe for long If you don’t like the weather Better not raise your blinds You talk about the weather As if you could deny it As if you had the answers As if you knew the truth But I hate to tell you How your city’s drowning How your fields are burning You won’t be safe for long If you don’t like the weather Better not raise your blinds You talk about the weather (You talk about the weather) While your city’s sinking (You talk about the weather) You talk about the weather (You talk about the weather) You won’t be safe for long

It's Nothing 03:16
The call comes late My stomach sinks The tremor tells me you’ve been crying You dance around The basic facts There’s no easy way to say you’re dying You think You’re not supposed to show you’re frightened You must be brave I know You’re only thinking of the children But how could you say It’s nothing? Your life breaks down Into routine It’s the only way that you can keep control You focus on Each tiny piece It’s easier than dwelling on the whole You think You’re not supposed to show you’re frightened You must be brave I know You’re only thinking of the children But how could you say It’s nothing? You think You’re not supposed to show you’re frightened You must be brave I know You’re only thinking of the children But how could you say It’s nothing? It’s nothing

Hanging on the margins of the group Grimace dominates your lovely face Body language screams Anywhere but here Send me subtle signs that we're the same Happier in smaller groups of friends Drowning in the crowd Awkward and alone I'm not happy You're not happy Let's elope Start an unhappy family I'm not happy You're not happy Pool our meds Start our own little pharmacy We can be as wretched as we please We can plumb the depths of our despair No one there to tell us how to feel No one there to tell us when to smile We can find a sorry little house You and I can paint it black or blue Shutter all the windows, hide inside Barricade the doors--we'll be ecstatic Circling the room for half an hour Feigning studied interest in the art Departure on my mind Recharge way past due I can see you edging towards the door Send me up a flare if we’re the same Lonely in the crowd Happier at home I'm not happy You're not happy Let's elope Start an unhappy family I'm not happy You're not happy Pool our meds Start our own little pharmacy We can be as wretched as we please We can plumb the depths of our despair No one there to tell us how to feel No one there to tell us when to smile We can find a sorry little house You and I can paint it black or blue Shutter all the windows, hide inside Barricade the doors--we'll be ecstatic I'm not happy You're not happy Let's elope Start an unhappy family I'm not happy You're not happy Pool our meds Start our own little pharmacy I'm not happy (Surrounding me) You're not happy (Surrounding you) Let's elope Start an unhappy family I'm not happy (Surrounding me) You're not happy (Surrounding you) Pool our meds Start our own little pharmacy We can be as wretched as we please We can plumb the depths of our despair No one there to tell us how to feel No one there to tell us when to smile We can find a sorry little house You and I can paint it black or blue Shutter all the windows, hide inside Barricade the doors--we'll be ecstatic

If silence Were golden You'd always Be broke This isn't The first time You clearly Misspoke You leave a bad taste Let's keep this short and sour If silence Were golden You couldn't Pay rent Now don't you Backpedal We know what You meant You leave a bad taste Let's keep this short and sour Short and (Short and) Sour Short and (Short and) Sour Let's keep this short and sour
