A Common Cold

I can’t sit still, I’m so excited
I’m throwing a party and no one’s invited
You say I’m obsessed with the weather
You say I should know better but I don’t
'Cause the sky is ever changing
You wonder what it cries
And the leaves get sick of hanging on
It’s no wonder they die
Still all these mysteries leave me wondering why
Something needs nothing to survive
Something needs nothing to survive
The more you lose, the more you find
The more you laugh, the more you cry
What if these walls could talk, well
What would they say?
They remember everything, they crumble all over me
'Cause the sky is ever changing
The seasons pass you by
These things take explaining
You better not close your eyes, your eyes
Still all these memories leave me wondering why
Something needs nothing to survive
Something needs nothing to survive
'Cause the sky is ever changing
The seasons pass you by
And it’s so goddamn amazing
The more you live, the more you die
In life you have a handful of hello’s, you only get one goodbye
Nothing makes sense until you realize
That something needs nothing to survive
Because he who doesn’t seek is free
Because darkness doesn’t speak, it screams
And reality’s only real in dreams where I’m dying
So let’s turn out the lights and try and get some sleep
