We lifted a rock, didn't like what we saw
Can you hear me overthinking ?
War is only over for the dead
So I'll have what she's (you're) drinking
Living and dying second hand
Emotional refugees
I hear in music what I can't feel
read in books what I can't see

Life doesn't have to be this hard
You aren't Picasso, you aren't Goddard
Be content with your stars
Life doesn't have to be this low
You're not Plato or Gallileo
There are things we'll never know

The world is full of missing pieces
But we can still play the game
Suddenly the idea reaches
Everybody’s got to change

Nobody puts gargoyles on buildings anymore

Summer of my lightning rods
Smiles as she's leaving
I don't remind me of who I was
Time it is a grieving
A party torpedo in love with zero
Decorates the nights
How are you planning on getting to heaven
If you're scared of heights

Life doesn't have to be this hard
You aren't Picasso, you aren't Goddard
Be content with your stars
Life doesn't have to be this low
You're not Einstein or Aristotle
You can back off of the throttle

The world is full of missing pieces
But we can still play the game
Suddenly the idea reaches
Everybody’s got to change

No they don't put gargoyles on buildings anymore
