lyrics

Calm

When I remember this. From a place that’s gone away.
I lost a little bit. And I don’t know what remains.
I’m Calm and pristine. Sold my soul for a dollar a day.
Don’t remember me. And I don’t know what else to say.
What to say. What to say. What to say.

And I witness this. Culled of a feeling of ill repute.
My heart’s not into this. On you false imbibed views.
I want to change all this. And make something better that’s new.
I didn’t want all this. And I don’t have much to lose.
Much to lose. Much to lose. Much to lose.

Now...I won’t take this. I won’t take it away from you.
How this leaves me. Now I don’t know what to do.
In these times of recourse. What’s there left to prove.
In all this emptiness. Now only God knows what to do.
Oh...but I don’t know what to do.

When I remember this. To a place that’s gone away.
I lost a little bit. But I don’t have much to say.
I’m Calm and pristine. Sold my soul for a dollar a day.
Don’t remember me. For its shame I am amazed.
I am amazed.
