lyrics

Something we all do
Something we all do keeps killing us now
And we know how
Something big that's far away
Something small that's quite nearby
Can be arranged in such a way
As to appear a similar size.
If you knew the day you'd die
And it was ten years from today
It might seem a similar size to a friend who moved away.

We do it in the depths of the nightmare.
We do it in the pith of the day.
We do it with mysterious weakness
And amazing grace.

I'd like to think we know at least enough to know we're wrong.
I'd like to say something that made me feel that I belong.

We trace it into the brains of our cities
We sow it in a monster's regret
We drip it into the brains of our children
It hasn't happened yet.

I'd like to think we might agree to live the way we die.
I'd like to think that honesty is not what makes the lie.

Something big that's far away
Something small that's quite nearby
Can be arranged in such a way
As to appear a similar size.
