We sleep together while all around us people kill each other where they lie
They lie together till they find someone better
Try and negotiate that's loads in minds
But I just can't credit that type of effort
For a piece of nothing on the edge of a knife
Slices, you're so thin, you dry like sheets in the wind
Hold a candle behind, through you see the light
I want this song I can sing forever
I don't care for structure just to know it's mine
I'd hate to see this thing
I'd hate to see this thing

We've developed, you've become your burden
All my waste of time
My waste of time
The afternoon can bring with it shallow moods
But I'd jump a harbour wall to clear your mind
I quarter the years
You drop the clock
The sails to wet clear
I'll look for eaves
You map the stars in the night
And history tells us
Some worlds we'll learn nothing of
Then retrospect becomes a shackle of time
On the ankles of a soul
In the future we trust
We cross our fingers like some kids tell the lies
I want this song I can sing forever
I don't care for structure just to know it's mine
I'd hate to see this thing we've developed
You've become your burden all my waste of time
I want to know that I know what I'm talking about
Until I do all the more see why
But when I'm sure that I know what I'm talking about
I'll take your burden if you'll say it's mine
But say it's mine
Say it's mine
You say it's mine
