lyrics

You're hiding in your prose aren't you
Hoping that the words will haunt you
Too bad there's no truth in your prose
You're hiding in your clothes aren't you
Hoping that the warmth will find you
Winter always asks for too much

There's a saying about the weight of water
The body dies and the world soon after
Too bad you lose the world when you die

You're hiding in your jokes aren't you
Hoping that the laughs will heal you
Too bad you can't laugh at your own jokes
You're hiding in your mind aren't you
hoping that the thoughts will lend you
All the sanity you may need

There's a saying about the weight of water
The body dies and the world soon after
Too bad we lose the world when we die
