- and get excited for a moment
But like a candle underwater
It puts a bullet through the showman
But I'm giving it back tomorrow
And they can keep it at their bedside
I'll paint a pattern on the window
And watch them try to hit the broadside
I just aim for the end of the day
And sleeping through the morning, it's always the same
But I won't sit around, only wait, I will change it to go my way
But can you make it on your own
When your self is on the mend?
Well, you can fake a status quo
A passive poem, psyche-penned
But can it get you very far?
Oh, it's a road without an end
But everybody plays a part
The people posture, play pretend
Oh, it's a ruby colored Wednesday
And I can feel it getting faster
I'm simply flown along the flyway
But I can't decide if I want to wander
A vagabond upon the roadside
It's always easier to ponder
With all the fates remaining tongue-tied
I just aim for the end of the show
And sleeping through the chorus, it's all that I know
But I can play a part, take it slow, and I'll bask in the spotlight glow
But can you make it on your own
When your self is on the mend?
Well, you can ride along the flow
A proud performance, pure pretense
But can it get you very far?
Or are you stuck inside the trend?
Well, you can pass the prosy par
When people posture, play pretend
I just aim for whatever I can
And someday maybe something will go as I planned
But nothing that I try seems to fly, I rely on some fleeting sleight of hand
But the push comes to shove anyway
You're dying every evening and born every day
So you just need a part you can play, and you're ready to join the stage
And paint a pattern on the wall
But can you make it on your own
When your self is on the mend?
Well, that's an answer you should know
A perfect person? preference
'Cause you've already made it here
So don't you let yourself forget
Just keep it simple n' sincere
Proclaim your pleasure, pirouette
And you can make it pretty far
Something on which you can depend
You'll be a guiding little star
When people posture, play pretend
(Paisley Pudge!)

Track: When Spring Comes

Lyrics: |-
Another day, nothing much to say
When the sun shows up and it's all the same
You claim to keep it in your frame
That the world's more bright when the seasons change
(But I feel that burning in my eyes)
When the leaves grow back neath a bright blue sky
(So I keep on searching through my mind)
For the reason why I can't help but cry
Is it all for a show?
In the golden hour, you seem to know no fear
Is it really true?
That I just can't feel the same as—
When spring comes
The world is blooming again
(Yet my tears never seem to end)
When spring comes
We watch the flowers ascend
(And it kills me to breathe it in)
You seem to have an easy time with this
Why am I left dry when you chase your bliss?
Oh, it's always such an easy time for you
When I see you smile, can I feel that too?
Another day
(Nothing much to say)
I lay low when you walk this way
And stay so very far away
'Cause the spring has come and I'm so afraid
(Not a care in your mind)
Do you think of me when I'm out of sight
(Can I stay by your side)
'Cause you're a gentle warmth in the blackest night
Is it all in my head?
When I try too hard, I only feel regret
Do you have a clue
How desperately I love—
When spring comes
The world is blooming again
(Yet my tears never seem to end)
When spring comes
We take the air for a spin
(And it kills me to breathe it in)
You always have an easy time outside
But I cough and sneeze while your eyes stay dry
Oh, why is it such an easy time for you?
When the springtime comes and my heart turns blue
When I've naught but my pride
You can still look past and stay right by my side
Is it really true?
That you still can find a reason—
When spring comes
The world is blooming again
(And my tears finally find their end)
When spring comes
I feel my heart on the mend
(And it holds through the springtime's end)
My allergies would make me loathe this sky
But it's not so bad when you dry my eyes
Oh, and though it's easy, you can help me too
You're the medicine for a heartbeat true
