lyrics

all Your objects of industry are melting in the heat of the mid-november sun. sometimes, i wish i didn't do all the talking. i just wish i could listen to someone. i wrote a little note to You, recounting all the things i did and didn't do. all Your objects of industry are melting with the wishful and nonexistent snow. some want to build a tower up to heaven. other people just want to watch the show. so here's my little note of thanks, overdrawn at all the banks. if i could turn back to them, i'd run the other way. all my objects of industry are soaking like my clothes in the january rain. sometimes, i wish that the problem were more simple. sometimes, i wish it was easy to pin the blame. so here's my little note of thanks, obsessed with my own mistakes. some days, i could swim directly to the setting sun. all their objects of industry are tattered, casting lots at the feet of a dying King. He'll wake up and go walking three days later. He'll go walking and find me here asleep.
