Years Around the Sun Align song lyrics

Today i use sticks and twine to align bricks and mortar

To build four walls to hold my dreams and lover

And if the rain keeps falling i will be the shelter that keeps

All our harem warm and dry

I cannot lie and try to paint a plastic portrait to hang my hat on

And if this came down to sink or swim, i will perish at the bottom

Today i use barbiturates and wine and slip into my subconscious

And try to dream up some scheme i can live for

'cause as the rain keeps falling inside my head as i lay drowning

With nothing left to live for, there's no ideal

The sediment begins to settle in an hour glass as i begin to count down

Until i shed my skin
