Removed

You're not so vicious, are you now?
I feel ok to walk you down
That ancient floor, i won't fall this time
An ashtray full of things i proved

Smolders in wait for the crisis of the day
The same refrain, but i remain removed

It must be nice to burn your shoes
You get a new pair every afternoon
The same old style, they don't jump too high
Same intonation as they walk that groove


Down to the basement, to crank the stereo
While i explain why i remain removed


I remain removed (x2)
I've wasted every ounce of wonder I could lose
I promise you i would be elsewhere if i could
And stay for good


There was whispers of waters on the lawn
where we once crashed, that ugly Sunday dawn
A makeshift sidewinding blender surprise
Dancing upon collapsing roofs


One for the fading moon and one for block the sun
from all these stains that remain un-removed


I remain removed (x2)
I've wasted every ounce of wonder I could lose
I promise you i would be elsewhere if i could
And stay for good
