Goodbye Blue Monday

from Fade to Buzz by Rule of Thumb

/

lyrics

a hand up, a three-letter question
a cursory search for the piece
a wake, then a wave to the passing
then release

a sister’s eyes telling the story
and a sad one, a bad one it was
a head full of lopsided pity
just because

reading everything
i gotta figure this out

the nurse in admissions was only
trying to lighten the load for the kid
there’s no way of her ever knowing
what she did

reading everything
i gotta figure this out
bleeding everywhere
on everything
i said that i gotta figure this out

on the slow tower park fade

(and so on and so it goes
and so on and so it goes
and so it goes on)

why he must always so muddily must he make
every mistake that he’s ever made once again?
what makes me think that i’ve got it all figured out?
how can subtraction make positive the account?
the twist of the offer, a pound of flesh now
but then tempered by the toll that ten thousand disappears takes

(on and on
and so it goes on)

it takes over
i am over it
