(Chorus)
Sweet Exhaustion--Heat Exhaustion
Some souls align to a neon sign, and the gas lights up behind their minds.
A red light flash behind their eyes, will seem to answer blind.
Souls will sigh for centuries, and memory will alter these...
These decades of ten fingers into prayer beads.
They'll tell themselves that everything explained away remains away.
Tell themselves that it's okay, and nothing's incomplete.
Tell themselves beyond the fray, that there are reasons left to stay,
And if they taste the world with a grain of salt...that'll make it sweet.
(Chorus)
Some souls will say that suffering is just the price that love can bring.
And every little bird they've ever heard inside their minds will start to sing.
Some souls will sigh above themselves, and laugh as they discuss the shelves.
These home improvements cheer them for a while, as they decorate their cells.
And when these souls become deferred, they leave without a noise,
A solemn staid example of the greatest grace and poise...
These souls begin to shrink upon their backbones, some
without a choice
will walk with equal sadness down another neon road...
And some explode.
I don't want to spend now, I don't want to end now.
Don't have a friend now you've left me alone.
Just want to sleep now, I don't wanna breathe now.
Feels like I've never been out on my own.
