The rain soaks the rows of tall buildings standing there like so many gravestones Like a shadow Burning into a wall I’ll pretend to walk on glass, just waiting for the time to pass, I can’t remember who I was but it must’ve been less scared I feel like I’m feeling but I forgot what feeling feels like, I feel like I’m repeating the same old rickety rhymes All over again All over again I feel like a writer but I can’t remember how to write I feel like a doctor but instead of healing I let die I feel like a firefighter but instead of putting fires out I start them Feel like a lifeguard but I let everyone drown All over again All over again All over again All over again We went right on spitting into the graves of all the poor ones that died before us and now we spend our days remembering We’re going to build a mirror factory and put out nothing but mirrors to take a good hard look at ourselves in The nothingness The insignificance Nothing but dust Nothing but decay and rust and dust All over again All over again All over again All over again In the millionth part of time left I see the reflection of my face in the mirror it’s empty Wildly empty Starved And eating Of itself All over again All over again All over again All over again Shut the doors they’re coming through the windows, shut the windows they’re coming through the doors I pitch I hit I catch I run the bases At sunset I have lost or won and at sunrise I will start again All over again All over again All over again and again and again and again All over again The rain soaks the rows of tall buildings standing there like so many gravestones Like a shadow Burning into a wall

lyrics:

The rain soaks the rows of tall buildings standing there like so many gravestones
Like a shadow
Burning into a wall

I’ll pretend to walk on glass, just waiting for the time to pass, I can’t remember who I was but it must’ve been less scared
I feel like
I’m feeling but I forgot what feeling feels like, I feel like I’m repeating the same old rickety rhymes

All over again
All over again

I feel like a writer but I can’t remember how to write
I feel like a doctor but instead of healing I let die
I feel like a firefighter but instead of putting fires out I start them
Feel like a lifeguard but I let everyone drown

All over again
All over again
All over again
All over again

We went right on spitting into the graves of all the poor ones that died before us and now we spend our days remembering
We’re going to build a mirror factory and put out nothing but mirrors to take a good hard look at ourselves in
The nothingness
The insignificance
Nothing but dust
Nothing but decay and rust and dust

All over again
All over again
All over again
All over again

In the millionth part of time left I see the reflection of my face in the mirror it’s empty
Wildly empty
Starved
And eating
Of itself

All over again
All over again
All over again
All over again

Shut the doors they’re coming through the windows, shut the windows they’re coming through the doors
I pitch I hit I catch
I run the bases
At sunset I have lost or won and at sunrise I will start again

All over again
All over again
All over again and again and again and again
All over again

The rain soaks the rows of tall buildings standing there like so many gravestones
Like a shadow
Burning into a wall
