Darker Days

I don't know if i care any more.
The silver's hidden under the floor.
It's been there since the civil war.
Oh i'll be out by 1934.

Agree when they say yes.
Never differ when they say no.
It's only my _________________
And i'll be out by 1934.

My mother's never been the same.
My father's a forgotten name.
Torture, don't know what for.
I'll be out by 1934.

Oh i'll be out by 1934.

You love to change your mind.
Hate to see you lost in your ignorance, or is it just indifference?
What goes on behind?
What goes on within you, without you, there's nothing to you.

Why are you so blind?
Why are you so hopelessly helpless, hopelessly helpless?
You can't have it back.
No you can't have the world as it once was with cowboys and santa claus.

With all your charm, all your cleverness.
It's not enough, we'd be better off with something else.
It's not enough, and all my thoughts, all my bitterness.
Still not enough with all your charm and all...

You love to change your mind.
Hate to see you lost in your ignorance, or is it just indifference?
Why are you so blind?
Why are you so hopelessly helpless, hopelessly helpless?

With all your charm, and all your cleverness.
It's not enough, we'd be better off with something less.
It's not enough, with all my thoughts and all my bitterness.
Still not enough...

Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and to yourself...

With all your charm, and all your cleverness.
It's not enough, we'd be better off with something less.
It's not enough, and all my thoughts and all my bitterness.
Still not enough...

Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and to yourself...

Once in a while i can see through
What is real and what is show.
Saving my colds for your purest thoughts.
It may come and it may go.

Chorus:
In a holding pattern, standing still as statues in a row.
It's so hard to change the pose.
And if movement mattered, i can still be moved, so ask again
"will they line us up in a row?"

Give me a glimpse of some distant time. (?)
Let me know what's in store.
Keep me in mind when you cross yourself.
I couldn't ask for anymore.

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)

And if i do wonder, what to do.
Waiting on the mote, lead us through. (?)
I can see the season, for today.
There's no need to reason, well i'd just run away.

Oh, i have seen, darker days.
Oh, i have seen, darker days.

Saw you in the half-dream, safe from view.
Lost you in the waking, but i knew.
Words are words and i would, try to find.
Better ways to let you leave those days behind.

Chorus:
Oh, i have seen, darker days.
Oh, i have...
Don't have to wait 'til tomorrow, it's on my mind.
Don't have to wait 'til you come looking for me.
Don't have to wait on the sorrow, it's on my mind.

And if i do wonder, what to do.
Waiting on the mote, lead us through. (?)
I can see the season, for today.
There's no need to reason, well i'd just run away.

(repeat chorus)

Darker days, the days you left undone.
Don't have to wait 'til tomorrow, it's on my mind.
Don't have to wait 'til you come looking for me.
Don't have to wait on the sorrow, it's on my mind.

Fell out of bed this morning, find a new face.
I never felt the morning, perfect, pure grace.
I here would ask them, there's no answer.
Safe in the searching, another chance here. (?)

Chorus:
It's much easier this way.
It's much easier just hangin' around.
It's much easier this way.
It's much easier just...

I fess out of bed this morning, to find a new face.
I never felt the morning, perfect, pure grace.
I here would ask them, there's no answer.
Safe and certain, another chance here.
