lyrics

so that's the only thing they said to you
before they brought you down
when all the walls you never noticed are now enclosing you from then to now
and they're so colorful
and I know its hard when all the faces in the crowd have all gone home
when all the people say that apathy misleads you
you're now to find
yourself some more pretty lies

but drugged out women
dreaming of swimming the Atlantic Ocean
in attempt to flea the souvenirs
hiding under their bed
and a hundred people singing songs
you threw out of your mind
it sounded million horses running down a hill

you sound like an army man
who's running in a field
lookin up at the sky
pretending to be confused
remembering all the confused tortured artists
all come out to play
and they never stay

cuz so far
you don't need to go unrecognized

living easy isn't hard enough to find when you know which way to go
when you're staring at paper skies
stapled to the rooftops
you'd better close your eyes
cuz there's nothing left to see
and you sound like an army man
who's running in a field
lookin up at the sky
pretending to be confused
but
so far
you don't need to go unrecognized
and so far
you swim alone
you swim alone
