The city has sex with itself I supposeAs the concrete collides well, the scenery grows And the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed They undressed their wounds for each other And there is a boy in a basement with a four track machine He's been strumming and screaming all night down there The tape hiss will cover the words that he sings They say it's better to bury your sadness In a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring To awake from its sleep and burst into green Well, I cried And you would think I would better for it But the sadness just sleeps and it stays in my spine For the rest of my life And I've learned And you'd think I'd be somethin' more now But it just goes to show it is not what you know It's what you were thinking of half the time This feeling's familiar I've been here before In a kitchen this quiet, I waited for A sign of just something that might reassure me of anything close To meaning or motion with reasons to move I need something I want to be close to And I scream but I still don't know why I do itBecause the sound never stays it just swells and decays So what is the point? Why try to fight what is now so certain? The truth is all that is a passing event that will be forgotten
