lyrics

Last night I had the strangest sleep. I dreamt that I would never awake for anything. Woke up in the midst of a deep and cleansing laughter; was up all night after. The better portions of my lungs and my conscience are why I sing. The way the sun rises in the east. The way the second summer is always twice as sweet. The dream of birds, and of falling snow. The uncertain nature of infallible strength. I've planted seeds to grow; to rise up through the thunder and the snow. If Leonard Cohen wore a mask, a face to hide his face to hide his shame, what hope have I to ever do the same? As if this meal would ever end. As if each progression progressed naturally. After 13 years I'm right back where I started from. As if it wasn't hard enough to speak. If Leonard Cohen wore a mask, a face to hide his face to hide his shame, what hope have I to ever do the same? In time we'll realize exactly who can count on me, when all these self-indulgent fantasies come true. I'll be laughing behind the mask they made for me at the past I can't escape, as tears roll down the face I show to you.
