Lyrics

I bled from my lids the instant that I saw
The bruises on the inside of your face
Those purple blotches showed through your translucent skin
You passed it off as a trick of the lights
Not for the first time
But certainly not the last
The placid nurse denied internal death
And the hospital board
Worried about the law
Resisted the urge to contradict anything
When it weighs too much
Think of it as seven times the weight
But when it costs too much
Consider it, but don't come to me for aid
I'll be in debt to all this legal junk
These facts and these figures
If you force me to go on
Through the pain and fear of knowing
The emptiness but never ever showing
When it weighs too much
Think of it as seven times the weight
But when it hurts too much
Consider it, but don't come to me for aid
The lucky child
The lucky child
The lucky child is learning fast
A body count will never last
But the sentimental killing lasts forever, forever
I've got a learning for you
Something interesting to do
I want you to know that the air is filled
With millions of thoughts
The air is filled with millions of blackness
With thoughts of what's bad and with thoughts of what's good
The air is filled with millions of voices
The heart of the sound is the heart of the word
When it weighs too much
Think of it as seven times the weight
But when we talk too much
Consider it a part of my escape
The lucky child is learning fast
A body count will never last
But the sentimental killing lasts forever, forever
The walls of Rome are tumbling down
So functional they make no sound
But the sentimental building stands forever, together, forever
