It's Not So Bad At All

Graceless, falling slipping in the cold

with no one looking,

can anybody see

the whole of your decency under the snow

when you land, when you land

know all there is to know

splinters trigger

pain inside your thumb

don't give way to it

till the axe has swung

you're carelessly catching the strings while you play

relax, relax

let your silence have its say

i dreamed of being alone

it's not so bad at all

alone alone

it's not so bad at all

i sleep with my clothes

i sleep with my shoes on

the sheets are twisted

getting in the way

i stare at the carpet

it's stained by the sun

come on, come on

let this silence have its say

i dreamed of being alone

it's not so bad at all

alone, alone

it's not so bad at all

---- sleeping became useless when the thought had hit my mind

---- the markings from your socks impressing skin into design
