Lyrics
I look out on an empty field
but I’m not so sure my fate is sealed
They are building, building all the time.
Strip mall, industrial park,
duplex—it’s like a Noah’s ark
replenishing the city, two of every kind
Some say the eyes are me to the soul
But I’m not sure they’re big enough holes
To welcome in near enough light.
When someone chooses to pull the shades
The vision dies, the story fades,
And who knew what would come
with the morning light?
The answer to pane, it seems
Is shutter out the world
But darkness only grows
Inside the blind.
When you find you’re in a jamb
Instead of glazing over, man
Just tap... I’ll open up, I don’t mind.
This morning I see some snowflakes fell
I imagine out there’s cold as hell
But we’re warm, rail against the stile.
You read your book, you do your work
I let the sun light up your smirk,
Can we brighten up that grin into a smile?
Let me brighten up that grin into a smile.
The answer to pane, it seems
Is shutter out the world
But darkness only grows
Inside the blind
When you find you’re in a jamb
Instead of glazing over, man,
Just tap... I’ll open up, I don’t mind.
The answer to pane, it seems
Is shutter out the world
But darkness only grows
Inside the blind
When you find you’re in a jamb
Instead of glazing over, man,
Just tap... I’ll open up, I don’t mind.
Just tap... I’ll open up, I don’t mind.
