The rain had started tapping
On the window near my bed
There was a loophole in my dreaming
So I got out of it
And to my surprise my eyes were wide
And already open
Just my nightstand and my dresser
Where those nightmares had just been

So I dressed myself and left then
Out into the gray streets
But everything seemed different
Completely new to me
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings
Even my own body
And each person I encountered
I couldn't wait to meet

And I came upon a doctor
Who appeared in quite poor health
I said, "There's nothing I can do for you
You can't do for yourself"
He said, "Oh, yes you can, just hold my hand
I think that that would help"
So I sat with him a while
And I asked him how he felt
He said, "I think I'm cured
No, in fact I'm sure of it
Thank you stranger
For your theraputic smile"

So that's how I learned the lesson
That everyone's alone
And your eyes must do some raining
If you're ever gonna grow
When crying don't help, you can't compose yourself
It's best to compose a poem
An honest verse of longing
Or a simple song of hope

That's why I'm singing, baby, don't worry
Because now I've got your back
And every time you feel like crying
I'm gonna try to make you laugh
And if I can't, if it just hurts too bad
Then we'll wait for it to pass
And I will keep you company
Through those days so long and black

We'll keep working on the problem
We know we'll never solve
Of love's uneven remainders
Our lives are fractions of a whole
But if the world could remain within a frame
Like a painting on a wall
Then I think we'd see the beauty then
And stand staring in awe

At our still lives posed
Like a bowl of oranges
Like a story told
By the fault lines and the soil

Bowl of oranges - Bright Eyes

Uggh, the "Jesus Christ" section in that song is pretty much the only non-perfect moment on the album, and it's so ****ty.

risin from the ashes to lead the wretched masses
back to the sufi shack - defyin all the fascists
wurdz burn with passion -- mentally enhancin
i'm david to goliath or delilah to your samson
kickin ass like cassius -- spreadin rhymes like rashes
the satellites in flight - how long before it crashes
falling like avalanches - crumbled and crushed
my wild womyn get to sinning -- know the power of us
i'm callin your bluff -- is it freedom or death?
we're gettin it on in Babylon - chokin on gods breath
the infinite connects true soldiers alive
the tribe will survive when armageddon arrives
