Leaning Against A Parked Car

Bear Quartet · Personality Crisis [1998]

leaning against a parked car

I'll wait here for the dark

I want the waves to roll in

and everything else to be perfectly still



I just want an overlooked mistake

through wich I could escape

soon we're all rationalized/trivialized

out of our own little lives, it's not even sad



and I can't articulate

what I gave up and what came instead

so why mention

the gravity of guilt

or the magnitude of love's intrusion



feels good to be here feels more real to me

to never invite sympathy

I want the sky to swarm with stars

to walk quiet and harsh

among us all



and I've already said

how I lost my way and fled

so why mention

the gravity of what

I've spilt and every final solution



they can't reach me anymore they

can't reach but something did
