In my body I’m a foreigner

Trying to trap wind in a box

My uncertainty is convincing me

I’m slipping on the rocks

And I get lost trying to follow

The rise and fall and swallow

Of a breath that leaves my stomach tied in knots

And still the morning light comes rushing in

So I’ll bring down the house

Just for waking up

And if I’m going out

Will it be enough

If I seek out the sun

Will the sorrow I’ve spun

Stand in tall ovation

In a chemical parade

For emerging from unconsciousness

Is it so much to ask?

For a sense of accomplishment

And a fleeting thought to last

Unleaving

So I’ll bring down the house

Just for waking up

And if I’m going out

Will it be enough

If I seek out the sun

Will the sorrow I’ve spun

Stand in tall ovation

In a chemical parade

So I’ll bring down the house

Just for waking up

And if I’m going out

Will it be enough

If I seek out the sun

Will the sorrow I’ve spun

Stand in tall ovation

In a chemical parade
