New Candles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We tried all thirteen channels
But they burned me out again
Because it's over whenever they say And I quit sending postcards
Because no one knew what to read in
And the mailman can't come in to explain
So I'm out of gasoline
And I hate the scene
And it's hard to nevermind
It's hard to nevermind.
I bought myself new candles
But they only burn old flames
I guess it's all the same, anyway
Went through my high school annuals To see who I still knew
But my point of view's forever changed
All this gasoline just goes to show
That not everything ignites
I do my best
But don't know what is right
All your energy just says to me
That you never can unwind
Please, bring it down
Bring it down one time
Why should it count against me
If I keep everything you send to me Where are you going to find me
City parks aren't empty all the time And with Union down below
I know that this will never change
I think way too much
About the way things should be said
Because it just can't leave my head all the way
And it seems my brand new candles Wont catch on fire today
I guess I might get burned anyway
All this gasoline just goes to show
That not everything ignites
I do my best
But don't know what is right
All your energy just says to me
That you never can unwind
Just, bring it down
Bring it down this time
Please bring it down
Bring it down
