People Like Us (original) *live recording*
Lyrics:
People like us
live in beautiful towns,
find song between silence,
and silence in sounds.

And the wind
keeps whispering.
It keeps whispering,
whispering in my ear—
whispering, whispering in my ear
I dont want to hear
what it sings to me—
what it sings to me.
Sometimes I am better left
alone.

People like us
collect chairs in our homes
and we fill them
with feelings
and skeleton bones.
So, when the wind comes—
when the wind comes—
it will seem like were sitting down
happily.
It will seem just the way
things used to be—
used to be.

The colonies of ants
hiding under plants
know were walking
and the forgetful birds
that imitate our words
know were talking—
talking.

The people that sit behind my eyes
that see the same things as I know
my heart
is stopping—
to breathe.


People like us
keep our hands at our sides
though we waltz
like the trees
in a breeze
with our eyes.
The winds fairly silent
when youre around.
Youre only one person,
but in my head
youre a crowd.
A crowd.

How
do you see me now?
Am I the apple of your eye
or
the bite you just spat out?

There are holes
meant for people like us
to fall into.
Id like to hear your stories
if I end up next
to you.
