La Dispute - Five

Sure, I know that you are tired of hearing about it, but most repeat the same theme over and over again
It's as if they were trying to refine what seems so strange and off and important to them
It's done by everybody because each must work out what is before them over and over again because that is their personal tiny miracle

Like now as like before and before I have been listening to symphony after symphony from this radio

Makes me realize that certain people now long dead were able to transgress graveyards and traps and cages and bones and limbs

In tiny rented rooms I was struck by miracles

The flesh covers the bone
And they put a mind in there and
Sometimes a soul,
And the women break vases against the walls
And the men, they drink too much and
Nobody ever finds the one but keep looking
Crawling in and out of beds
Flesh covers the bone and the flesh
Searches for more than flesh

There is a loneliness in this world so great
That you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock

People so tired, mutilated
Either by love or no love

People just are not good to each other

We are afraid

Our educational system tells us that we can all be big winners
But it hasn't told us about the gutters or the suicides

Or the terror of one person aching in one place, alone
Untouched
Unspoken to

People are not good to each other

I suppose they never will be
I don't ask them to be
But sometimes I think about it

There must be a way
Surely there must be a way

There is no chance at all
We are all trapped by fate

Nobody ever finds the one

Who put this brain inside of me?
It says that there is a chance
It's kept the rope from my throat
Maybe it will loosen yours

The city dumps fill
The junkyards fill
The graveyards fill

Nothing else fills

this music is far too introspective and profound to gain the attention it deserves. people just want something they can sit down and passively tap their feet to.this type of stuff should be required listening for anyone who wants to write lyrics.

I found a site last night with all La Dispute lyrics. I read the lyrics of this last night and knee I'd love the song. I did. I had never listened to any of the Here, Hear EPs, either. I just knew I'd love it.

@juanns the lyrics were taken from three of that author's poems. Jordan put them together in such a way that they'd flow.

the one person who disliked this video clearly hasn't got the mental capacity to understand the brilliance of this song

[juanns19]

amazing! If you guys like the song, you should check the author Charles Bukowski. this song clearly was influenced by his poems

[juanns19]
