about

Written about people's unfortunate experiences, from the perspective of (as usual) someone else.

lyrics

Do I at least look crazy and sad

Through the mess of tangled hair

I know I can't help but stare



Watching at the daylight, minus a sun

The silent, dark, still air

I'd give the world to care



Every time I open my eyes

Peek out from behind the rain

Every speck of light has

Too much beauty to contain



Every time I open my door

Walk out into the day

Watch minutes fade to hours

As the time just fades away



You could start to write on bottles

But why label me?

Whatever fix you give

Might change my will to live

Might change my will to live



Count the seconds left of light

As you expect your home

Count the hours left to wait

As you await your phone



To ring with news of happiness

And playing in their games

They're spreading joy and smiles

While you chase away the rain



You could start to write on bottles

But why label me?

Whatever fix you give

Might change my will to live

Might change my will to live
