lyrics

i am just your neighbor
theres nothing more to say than that
could it keep me from falling off, december?
could it keep me from
ever...
coming back?

will i stop these walls from spinning?
will the wind stop pushing back?

are we all some sort of magnets?
will you and i ever react?


the world will
see you for who you are.
a jester about your own design.
and finally, they will sing
i identify with him.
and if this is impending doom,
how will you make it out this time?
and i will be there to sing,
i identify with him.

will i ever be someone?
will i ever be that someone?
will that someone move around?
noises off.
will i have room to change?
am i falling for the sunlight on my ceiling?
is this all that remains?
is this impending doom?

i am just a lonely pair of eyes
with clouds between you and i.
and if the world were to cross out my name
id scream back, "nothing will ever turn me away."
but i still long for the courage,
though ill never make it out this time.
and if this is impending doom,
im convinced you'll find me.
find me.

a lonely pair of eyes.
facing a glass eye and breaking.
and if this is impending doom,
they should choose to turn away.

now my own heart,
has left without me.
and i cant find it.
and the whole world,
is laughing at me.
and i cant fight back.
the world will sing of me.


dont turn away from what you see
it will be hard at first, but i'll
be king of daytime reflections and fiction
so now, nothing can keep us away
if this is impending doom,
you should all be ashamed.
if this is impending doom,
you should all feel so bad.
(if this is impending doom,
you'll never make it out this time
if this is impending doom,
id identify with him.)
a lonely pair of eyes.
to separate this body.
you'll all have to learn,
somehow.
