Diminished - Pinback

Days confused

Ruined by a past you hardly knew

The frost in your eyes

Irritated streams on others lost

These memories, it seems, cause cracks and one gets unglued

These tendrils proceed to strangle her reason too

Held apart

Every time is lost

But maybe once in a while

You’ll catch 'em

When all the walls are brick

And all the racing’s fixed

You’ll change expression

Damned if you

Didn’t hide your face I’m sure they knew

When thoughts cross your heart

Bypass all the strain of being you

When most people dream, their subconscious locks on you

You’re wrapped in your scene, and blanket of things you drew

Don’t be frightened, someone caught you napping

A knock on the door in advance didn’t help this time

Every Sunday you look out the window

To count the tracks in the snow till they get back

Should it be so hard to have a nice day?

Should it be so hard to have a nice time?

Don’t feel so worthless in the meanwhile (x2)
