Never be beyond your approval
Even now that I am beyond your gaze
You've been looking at me in the mirror
It's not fair I can't see you
I'll never be beyond your approval
Even now that I am beyond your gaze
You've been standing in the mirror with me
It's not fair I can't see you
Not a trick of light, it's a trick of reality
Trick of light, it's a trick of reality
October
October
People, animals, plants
Do what they do today
And again tomorrow
People, animals, plants
Do what they do
And I can't seem to remember what's most elemental
Like our circumnavigation of the sun
You tell me, I keep it for 24 hours
That's all I got
That's what my memory's become
Place to forget
Memories folded like laundry
In dreams, the dead and living are the same
Equal on imaginary planes
Maybe that's why I'm better in the dark
Where the sigh and shiver release their spark
Don't need much light to see this far
October
Here to die, gone tomorrow
October
People, animals, plants
Do what they do today
And again tomorrow
People, animals, plants
Do what they do
Only have to believe the lies I tell myself
It's an act of love when I believe in yours
Buttress what is soft and porous
Buttress what is soft and porous
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh, oh
Ah-ah-ah, oh, oh
Ah-ah...
