lyrics

I am well acquainted with The Hopeless Situation – I’d go as far to say that we’re good friends
We hang out on the corner with our other good friend Sorrow
Wading through the day until it ends
Until the streetlights are ignited and the parking lots are emptied of their travelers from the day
Among the city planted tulips and forget-me-nots

What are we? Are we artists here?

In the soil that I was planted, in the sun I took for granted
My roots and stem were severed from each other
My waking is to weep, my comfort is to sleep, but I’m not lonely here for loss became my lover
She is charming and disarming and she likes to dance
Around the garden of our floundering family tree
My love for her is something no one seems to understand

What are we? Are we artists here?

When the sunset heads for cover and the lovers turn their hearts to meet each other in a kiss
When the autumn leave are gathered and are set to burn

What are we? Are we artists here?
