He watches the moon
He goes to bed
With images in his brain
A film to the apathy he lives
Trivial points and names
That I bet you think you know
Claim that you've felt
When the evenings were slow
Turning slightly
Slowly turn
Really it is
Endless cycles
You burn
They could be small
And they could be good
The breakthroughs he claims he makes
They could be big
And they could be bad
Mistakes that he's already made
That I bet you think you know
Claim that you've felt
When the evenings were slow
Turning slightly
Slowly turn
Really it is
Endless cycles
You burn
We're not here without you
To know without you
A life beyond slow Hamilton's scheduled day
This time for getting out
And maybe to testify
But feel there's nothing one can do
But name them
Blame them
They all got in it for you
Show me around your lonely room
Tipsy and comb my head
I brought you a box of chips and wires
Nothing is dreary there
That I bet you think you know
Claim that you've felt
When the evenings were slow
Turning slightly
Slowly turn
Really it is
Endless cycles
You burn
We're here without you
To know without you
A life beyond slow Hamilton's scheduled day
We're here without you
To know without you
A life beyond slow Hamilton's scheduled day
