Let's get together and talk about the modern age
All of our friends were gathered there with their pets just talking %#@!
About how we're all so upset about the dissapearing ground

As we watch it melt

It's all of the good that won't come out of us

And how eventually our hands will just turn to dust
If we keep shaking them, standing here on this frozen lake


I do this thing where i think i'm real sick
But i won't go to the doctor to find out about it
'Cause they make you stand real still in a real small place

As they chartup your insides and put them on display
They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it


All of the good that won't come out of me
And all the stupid lies i hide behind
It's such a big mistake, lying here in your warm embrace


Oh, you're almost home
I've been waiting for you to come in

Dancing around in your old suits going crazy in your room again
I think i'll go out and embarrass myself by getting drunk and falling down in the street
You say i choose sadness, that it never once has chosen me

Maybe you're right

Let's talk about all of our friends who lost the war

And all of the novels that had yet to be written about them

It's all of the good that won't come out of them

And all the stupid lies they hide behind
It's such a big mistake, standing here on this frozen lake
It's all the good that won't come out of me

And how eventually my mouth will just turn to dust
If i don't tell you quick
Standing here on this frozen lake
