Lyrics

A fixture in the mud
Cold and alone
Ornaments of dew
Collect into pools
And in each little drop
You can see the pale moon
Like a zillion tiny eyes
Staring up and away

Like the layers of the Earth
We bend and we fold
And eventually break
To fit someone?s mold
And some may think it?s easy
But alone it?s hard to take
I hope you?ll be around
If I get hit by an earthquake

I?m searching for a reason
To explain it all
Got to see through the layers
Of the paint on the wall
They?re closing
So is the ceiling
The paint is dry
But it?s been peeling

Scars are receding
But you?re still bleeding
Need a good reason
To get through the season
And some may say the fall
Is the hardest one to take
I?ll try to be around
If you get hit by an earthquake

It?s been a long time
Since it?s rained around here
Been a long time
Since they?ve said my name
We live our whole lives
Just to shed a tear
You?ll say I?m wrong
But it?s not the same

The river is dry
So is my blood
Loneliness flows
Thicker than mud
And being sad just might be
The hardest mood to break
I hope you?ll be around
If I get hit by an earthquake
