Internal Hourglass Discussion lyrics

A burst of blackbirds in the sky

All of a sudden, this beautiful day

Far past the zenith of my high

Has given me the will to change

But I'm so tired, I'm wide awake

A pedestrian's dying cry

Piercing the air on this beautiful day

Hit by a taxi driving by

And taking my resolve to school

Staring at the street where the blood has pooled

All on this beautiful day

All on this beautiful day

All on this beautiful day

All on this beautiful day

All on this beautiful day

A walk beneath the viaduct

Laughing to myself at some stupid old joke

The thought occurs to get unfucked

I stand on Second Ave trying to bum a smoke

A cop says "Move along", lest I get locked up

All on this beautiful day

All on this beautiful day

I find a wallet on the ground

And I'm a king for one beautiful day

I hear an unfamiliar sound

Telling me I cannot stay

But I've been gone so long now anyway

A burst of blackbirds in the sky

All of a sudden, this beautiful day

Far past the zenith of my high

Has given me the will to change

But I'm so tired, I'm wide awake

I'm so tired, I'm wide awake

I'm so tired, I'm wide awake

All on this beautiful day

All on this beautiful day
