Caroline

I've been writing it all down

Tracing narrative arcs

In a sea of prior art

I've been running to headwinds

Would've made you proud

Keep kicking when you go down

Caroline I

Notice when you laugh

You don't smile, you look sad

You look sad

But she gets lost and doesn't mind

Heaven is the weight of all alone

The light gets in from other lives

Making up the sound of someone home

And I've been raging at headlines

Making uselessness art

While the whole thing comes apart

And I've been listing on empty

Push till the lights go out (till the lights go out)

It's never all that easy

Till you know what you are and aren't

Caroline I

Notice when you laugh

You don't smile, you look sad

Caroline I

Notice when you laugh

You don't smile, you look sad

You look sad

But she gets lost and never minds

Heaven is the weight of all alone

The light gets in from other lives

Making up the sound of someone home

She says, "The world's on fire and I don't mind

The world's on fire and I feel fine"

She says, "The world's on fire and I don't feel a thing at all"

She says, "The world's on fire and I don't mind

The world's on fire and I feel fine"

She says, "The world's on fire and I don't feel a thing at all"

All neon nights, electric lives (She says, “The worlds on fire and I don’t mind)

From darkness to the blinding light (The world's on fire and I feel fine")

She says, "The world's on fire and I don't feel a thing at all"

No saints in the heavens, there's no "mean to be"

Don't be religious when it comes to the promise of biology

From a flame in the dark to a flash on the screen

You can give up on hope or give up on the dream

They're not the same thing, they're not the same damn thing

Caroline I

Notice when you laugh

You don't smile, you look sad

She gets lost and doesn't mind

Heaven is the weight of all alone

The light gets in from other lives

Making up the sound of someone home

Who can sleep on sleepless nights?

Wandering till daylight comes

With all this light from other lives

The world's on fire and I don't mind
