only time will tell if I'll allow   the scenery around to eat me alive      I want to sleep for weeks like a dog at her feet   even though I know it won't work out in the long run   so I burn down the wall, breathe my good shadow   those arms I once knew, hold me like gold   I learn how to speak a forgotten language   I fall in the sea but forget how to swim      When anything that's anything becomes nothing that's everything   and nothing is the only thing you ever seem to have      but only time will tell if I'll allow   the scenery around to eat me alive      I want to sleep for weeks like a dog at her feet   even though I know it won't work out in the long run   so I burn down the bone, breathe my good shadow   those arms I once knew, hold me like gold   I learn how to speak a defeated language   I fall in the street as I howl at the moon      When anything that's anything becomes nothing that's everything   and nothing is the only thing you ever seem to have
