lyrics

Body language is the first way we all learn to speak,
and you haven't been very fluent.
There's too much risk in living so we don't do it.

Concrete and stone built on piles of bones
and yet i still try to feel important,
like the universe in some way is assorted.

If we were meant to be here why does no one feel comfortable?
If there's some cosmic event that could cause me,
(a piece of the universe aware of itself consciously)
then i'm thankful to see i am nobody.

Every night i paint a self portrait,
and not even in one am i smiling.
Now they hang on every wall.
Reminding me of when
all that i knew i could count on one hand,
and i was happy to not understand
the gears beneath the paint.
The ticking then was faint.

If we were meant to be here why does no one feel comfortable?
If there's some cosmic event that could cause me,
(a piece of the universe aware of itself consciously)
then i'm thankful to see i am nobody.
