Greener

Here's that part again where your neighbour starts to mend their fence And clean up all their woes and ugly things And so you look on over trying not to meet their gaze But before you get a good view They're staring right back at you Trying just as hard to see your own hue of green and blues This 16:9 LCD screen Seems to make success look easy As if I even know what that means So is it my fault that my yard's a dark shade of asphalt? When all I really want is to be seen As a simple, lowly, sacred human being Wherever this goes, I want you to notice I want you to hear I want you to know this song as a ringing in your ear These thoughts sing a sad, sad melody But then, even the manic can live happily Misconceptions of intent will get me down Oh, the truth is that I'm actually quite well (for now) I'll tape a message to a stone And throw it through your window Just so you can finally see That I'm not the one you should be envying Wherever this goes, I want you to notice I want you to see I want you to know these shades that sit humbly in between your yard Might not seem so heavenly But I promise that mine is no better shade of green Wherever this goes, whatever ensues These songs are my own, these songs aren't for you But still, I'm so glad you're listening
