Lyrics
i was once rooting about today
searching for my id
among the old cracker wrappers
and the dead batteries
when i happened upon a letter
i had a year ago received
and despite it's obsolescence
had saved for it's intensity
as i went to throw it away
i noticed some old photographs
the tape that once held them to my mirror
now held them to the other trash
how many times must I dress up
only to be let down?
(how many times must I end the day
face to the ground?)
