Wisdom

My eyelids rise
As a strange wall tells the truth
On the bright side
I’m alive
The fog on the harbor
Gets into everything
And changes my mood
Strange creation
Above the closet
Hanging like a distant
Matter of interest to me
I once knew apathy
As a happy pill
But ten years later
I’m happy still

I didn’t sleep enough to argue
You did but didn’t want to
Believe in tomorrow

And I’ve forgotten 35 years of wisdom
And I’ve only got 35 left to lose
I’m gonna shine like the television
In my sister’s room

The door is closed
I’m always thinking being alone
Will take me away
Or fulfill me
And Kara says
I’ve got work to do
She may be right but
I couldn’t show it

I didn’t sleep enough to argue
You did but didn’t want to
Believe in tomorrow

And I’ve forgotten 35 years of wisdom
And I’ve only got 35 left to lose
I’m gonna shine like the television
In my sister’s room

Kara says I’ve got work to do
I didn’t sleep enough to argue

And I’ve forgotten 35 years of wisdom
And I’ve only got 35 left to lose
I’m gonna shine like the television
In my sister’s room
