I'm further than a mess. My emotions are just madness

And everything he said to me was miles from the truth

The ocean makes a crashing sound but I'm so furious

What seems distant is washing up right here

The lights are swinging above my head

Envelope in my hand but it's nothing I haven't read

You heard the story on the news after she called you from the corner

She didn't seem so well but you hadn't cared at all

Flashing lights filled your front lawn

Now you really wished you never got involved

The lights are swinging above your head

Envelope in your hand but it's nothing you haven't read

It's a catalyst of awkward situations

Keep your mouth shut and you can't cause no harm

Is it all so true? Or is it just ridiculous?

What seems real fails to be pointed out

The lights are swinging above our heads

Envelopes in our hands
