Nothingful THE AIR AS WITNESS lyrics

Colored wax to break my back
So many colors here
Building nothing out of something
Up nights and wasted tears
Coulda kept a garden alive
A life on wheels, it just feels
like I've missed on the kiss

Pet ethiopia
I got today's paper and someone's got philophobia
and the car's got water vapor
and someone's laughing too much
and someone has to go and ruin the party
and someone's feelings are a crutch
and we'll be gone and what remains is our art

Some don't like to think,
we don't like to drink,

There's all this talk of the elephant in the room
well I want some ivory real soon
Portable fruit and a cross to bare
I've got so much better I would like to share
Pick an object at random and an animal
A barrel and a goat, or a bear

Sew me something nice and useful
Can you sew my mouth shut
I don't want to speak any more
I don't want to have to say it
with the air as witness

This is a goodbye
