Smile that works away from you is the one that's killing me

Hidden concealed has now congealed leaving things out to be seen

They are falling down around me

The passage of time, is it not my own?

Is it actuality?

The phase I go through out of phase with regularity

Walkers love to fire their pistols

Shout, "hip hip hooray"

But some of us, me especially, want to walk away

They are falling down

Falling down around me

And I go free

They are falling down around me

Hello again, have you seen my friend

Playing games with other boys?

Heaven knows why you say those things to me

Don't you know it just annoys?

I can't explain this light it seems to spill right over me

A binding room at night that I've been thinking heavily

So I sing...
