Words are spoken, swallowed in vain Slowly, i'm choking I cough it up, cough it up, cough it up again Familiar, familiar Laughing, laughing at the man who Never had a chance to dream your dreams Find it funny here today, you know But, if by tomorrow, you might wonder then Why your seeds are weeds Familiar, familiar Familiar, is it familiar? Chorus: Open up - there's a river in us all Open up - from the cradle where we crawl Open up - it's so unusual Open up - cause sitting on the wall Everybody's got to fall Oh, show me, show me a reason A reason for, anything i see Round and round and round and round, we go What happened to my brother? Will his flowers wither? Just like me, yeah Familiar, familiar Familiar, is it familiar? Chorus I am no preacher, i know no teachings Sway my mind, dear with your primal screeching Buried under, your plastic cover You are me, and i am you Chorus
