Sons of People we Know
Waves Over Tokyo
Though we may seem grateful for the lights shined on our faces, Our shoes are leaving our feet soarAnd our throats are swelling up from all this singing andOur parents aren't concerned with us no moreIm afraid that my eyes are rolling backwardsMy precious tangled locks posses the floor And i cant help but think that Ive been lied to from the startBut it doesnt really matter any moreCause we wont die all aloneWe stay surrounded by lovers in the comfort of our homesAnd though we build our walls, we're still just skin and boneThough our bodies grow old, our hearts wont decomposeAnd though she loves me, she always tells me Im wrongI guess shes just paying off my debts with her kind blue eyesWhile Im singing about Tokyo or someplace, I dont recognizeThese feelings that Im feeling left me feeling so mesmerizedThese are classic insincerities for which i humbly apologizeFor our nasty dispositions and the kick drum ringing loudIts just my whole life Ive been kicked out, messed up or fooled aroundBut no more...And though my bodies tired, like im sure my fathers wasI swear Ill pay for everything Ive doneIts just so hard when you've lost everything at onceBut then again, Im always looking up.
