lyrics

A year and a half
It’s a cry and a laugh
It’s a song to be heard from the roof
So sit down and pray
I’ve got nothing to say
I’ve got nothing that is solid proof

And I’ll break my back
Yeah I’ll break my back
And it’s all for you

A meaningless smile
Comes and goes for a while
Maybe someday it’s here to stay
Arbitrarily sing
To give love feathered wings
And a heart you will one day betray

See my leaves will fall
Oh my leaves will fall
And it’s all for you

Well I may have been played
But my mind has been made
To believe all the words you recite
And I cry in the street
Now my time’s been complete
I can’t feel this bomb I ignite

And I disappear
And I disappear
And it’s all for you

In and out, you will go
Like you’ve never been home
So you see a familiar face
But there’s fire in the sky
It’s the place I might die
For I’m gone and I won’t leave a trace

And I follow on
Oh I follow on
And it’s all for you

See both the eyes
Come away from their cries
And see them go tumbling away
How can you live
You’ve got nothing to give
Now that everything leads you astray

For I’ve hurt the most
And I’ve hurt the most
And it’s all for you

I’ve checked in the mirror
If you’re farer or nearer
But I can’t see your face anymore
So I’ll call myself blind
For it’s you I can’t find
Since you’re constantly out of the door

I’ll give it away
Give it away
And it’s all for you

I live like a schemer
But I’m just a dreamer
The blue and the white of your sky
But could anything be
Like the wind through the trees
Like the waves crashing through with the tide

But I go away
And I go away
And it’s all for you

And my words are a game
To see if you are tame
and if you are quick on your feet
but I lay down to rest
with these burns in my chest
and I lay in the cold and in heat

And I’ll break my back
Yeah I’ll break my back
And it’s all for you
