Sympathetic Smile

An open window shows the stars shine well up there

I clear my throat to hear some sound

And think of falling out into the open air

Blue-black sky and cold, familiar ground

Something always pulls me back

Something always pulls me back

Something always seems to come along despite the, despite the

Blow up dolls of superheroes, sad sound-bitten lives

These crowded streets of empty faces, loneliness and lies

I'm waiting for some sympathetic smile

I'm confident it's just another mile

I stay up thirty hours waiting for a sign

Stilted sunlight pulled through old, venetian blinds

Lost cause, a pregnant pause, a shiver when I wake

To perseverance wearing thin through all the noise I make

Something always pulls me back

Something always pulls me back

Something always seems to come along despite the, despite the

Blow up dolls of superheroes, sad sound-bitten lives

These crowded streets of empty faces, loneliness and lies

I'm waiting for some sympathetic smile

I'm confident it's just another mile

I'm waiting for your sympathetic smile

I'm confident it's just another mile
