lyrics

i’ll kiss the hand that feeds me
i’ll take the hand that leads me
i’ll feed the birds
i’ll leave the words to someone better

i’ll sing what i don’t know yet
i’ll sing what i’ll never know, yet
i’ll pretend to prophecize
blind seer saying hopeful things and hoping that it sticks

i’m too young to know what’s good for me
i’m too old to think about pretty things
i’m a dreaming child
pity my pride

isn’t it easier to lie in bed and think about the sun exploding?
isn’t it easier to lie in bed and think about the sun exploding?

the overthink and the under-emotion
anger is ugly, so go through the motions
love nothing enough
it’ll hurt no matter what

let them bite and let them bark, and
let it pour, and build the ark
two by two and hand in hand
push it off the sandbar and stay on land

so i’ll leave the talking to the real boys
cut myself up for you to enjoy
oh echo i know you
(oh echo, i know..)

isn’t it easier to lie in bed and think about the sun exploding?
isn’t it easier to lie in bed and think about the sun exploding?
isn’t it easier to lie in bed and think about the sun exploding?

isn’t it easier to lie awake and dream about the sun?
