You Against The Larger World (Japanese Bonus Track)

(album: Swing Lo Magellan - 2012)

It's you against the larger world
Squinting as the hours curl
Up like leaves, dead and fallen
While others seek what they are longing
Fate and love won't come along ungotten

You say nothing dies that lives
So you're dying ignorant
Reach down deep into your pockets
Litter all of the contents
Into the world that you have forgotten

How do you breathe inside that tiny room?
Your lungs are like two spent balloons
Shallow when they could be bursting
Uselessly stressed, but not exerted
Vacant when they could be filled with purpose
Yelling, furious
