about

Outside is just a bigger room. Space, too.

lyrics

This bed is cold and wide as the ocean
and dreams are in the corner, staring at the wall
I know if you and I were a mansion
there'd be broken chains upon the gate and rat shit in the hall

and I know if you and I were a factory
fathers would take their sons to see where grandma went to work
but you and I are nothing like building
cause there is no you and I, there's just me and I'm a jerk

I guess it's true, you can't go home again
home is just a hole with walls where people go pretend
that we love our fellow passengers
on this spaceship flying nowhere, round and round until the end

Now I'm not looking for blame or a reason
we're both as dumb as the rock that stupid stands upon
but you were smart enough to look the door behind you
so I can never leave without remembering that you've gone

and if somehow you and I were a galleon
we could slump beneath the ocean and watch our cannons rust
but you've been gone so long I can't remember
why I can't get through the door, why these walls are all I trust
