lyrics

I found the happiest place in the world.
Hidden in a building, peering beautifully out.
There’s a room that’s inexplicably empty, and if you lie between the walls, stare out it’s windows at dusk
The sky is orange and surrounding
Precipitate smudges, seamless, non-threatening
I try to peel away the orange exterior
And not get any in the cityscape
And a stage opens up in the wet hole
Puppets are dancing out my insignificant life to me
I’m glad no one’s here
It’s a pity they’ll destroy this
It’s to make way for an airport, they say
But I’d rather stay here, until the building’s last breath
Yeah, it’s a pity it’s leaving, pity an implosion will take away this
I hope you see on your last breath what I am seeing on mine
I know it’s selfish, but if you could see this, you’d understand
I love you
I love you
Don’t forget me
