lyrics

the storm in my body's not settled, after the mighty tornado
spun me around, leaving me alive

i've got no more time left to kill
but i've got half a glass i need to fill
with cider or wine, or whatever's the cheapest here

i open up
my eyes today
and when i look up
well i see nothing
but my ceiling, but my ceiling

and im not afraid to be here now
i wanna be a part of this somehow
we've all got a voice but we need to learn to listen

shake off the dirt and go dancing
don't change a thing you've been given
they're all the same we need someone different

i open up
my eyes today
and when i look up
well i see nothing
but my ceiling, but my ceiling

there's a peaceful blue light
that comes through my window at night
and the tree on main street
is making shapes on the wall just for me
does it ever stay good
permanently
