Slow Arpeggio - Day by Day Lyrics

We wake and sleep to the sound of death
Burning holes in our ears so we can't hear the breath

The breath of a lover saying it's not enough
Or the breath of a friend saying it's too tough
Day by day the memories we don't want to obtain
Play through our minds on an incessant train

We work and we jerk to the sound of bones
Crunching and munching under our new roads
The roads to the past that never got fixed
Or the roads to tomorrow that will never exist

Day by day the memories we don't want to keep
Are contorted into preference so we don't weep
And nobody sees nobody hears
Because it's all pushed deep down

The pain becomes to much to bear
As nobody comes to care
Our friends don't really give a shit
Until they're hurt by loving spit

They're empty now, my insides
Can't anyone see
They're empty now, my insides
Oh, please forgive me
