I've been cruel and unkind and on purpose Remorseful and insincere Longing for the luxury of boredom Weeping for the loss of control Sitting with the sly sloganeering Saving you a seat When I met you, I felt on time I felt organized That year it stayed so warm I thought I'd never see snow With a sharp click we're fluorescent Walk twelve miles and then wake up Work twelve hours and then wake up Some days I don't make it That year it stayed so cold I thought I'd never see spring Then it stayed so warm I thought I'd never see snow You can hear it next door That low, lone rumble You can hear it next door Someone's laughing Maybe crying Maybe both Constant reminder on all sides These walls are not mine Skin is cold sand Breath is turpentine That year it stayed so loud Thought I'd never be found I don't mind a little repetition I don't mind the settling in The creaking clanging steel of my friends Shouting on the inside Even-keeled forever
