My Life Is FIlled With Quiet Nights In

Lazy Days

Another lazy day
Is this what is expected of us?
If someone ran right through us, would we notice?
Another lazy day
Is this all we are good for?
If someone hit us with a brick, would we care?

There's nobody here but us
Ghosts in the living room
Changing the channels
As we sit and try not to think

Raging through the margin
Trying to find our names in print
Reading the obituaries to make sure we're not dead

Another lazy day
Is this as far as we can go?
If someone fell in love with us, would we know?
Another lazy day
Is this the only thing we can do?
If someone broke the silence with a scream, would we hear?

A split second to see the light
A moment when we become so much more than this
A time when we begin to see
And it's broken by the overwhelming majority

Raging through the margin
Trying to find our names in print
Reading the obituaries to make sure we're not dead

Scan the weddings to see if our lovers have found love
without us
Watch the births to see which friend has grown up and
created life
Find the job section to see if the man who fired you has
found someone else
And read the obituaries to make sure that you're still
alive
