I had a dream of a basement
where everything at once
echoed off the walls
All our instruments playing
Everything, all at once
Bouncing off the walls
Bleeding through the waves of all that sound
You were always around
Breathing in the air under the ground
You were always around
I had a dream of a tower
that crumbled to the earth,
was covered up with dirt
There was something buried under this town
You were always around
to dig through the debris of what we found
You were always around
Bleeding through the waves of all that sound
You were always around
I had a dream of a basement
bouncing off the walls
I had a dream of a tower
that crumbled to the earth

Your Stethoscope
03:30

It's been 20 years since you were in that auditorium
for your high school graduation.
They played Good Riddance over the PA and ever since that day
you've never really trusted anyone.
Hey, I know the feeling, like somebody whispering inside you
but the words come out all mangled and unclear
If you want to we can stay inside tonight and listen closely
with your stethoscope and maybe 6 or 7 beers
Let it whisper in my ear
Once you kept it closely and once you kept it secret
A thing you muttered to yourself when you knew I was asleep
The fear and shame's receded, but it's never really gone
We march on, we march on, we march on
All Day long you've walked the length of harsh lit hallways
full of people eager for you to feel the way they feel,
to listen to those voices that nobody understands
and to give back something nobody can steal.
Let it be something real
please let it be something real.
When you heard that voice again, it was from another person
who couldn't keep his limbs still, who seemed like he might explode
and then, again, another with such silly, screwed-up faces,
who felt everything so hard, and where they came from, no one knows.
With an inborn fascination for your medical equipment
they put one end to their ear and the other to your heart
We were a young familiy that just kept getting older.
Reach your hand down in the sofa, you'll find everything you thought was lost.
Aren't you so glad that it's not?
I'm so happy that it's not

Little Light

Everybody's got someone else in 'em, someone else in 'em
and they don't know who
Everybody's got someone else in 'em, someone else in 'em
and they don't know who
Nobody knows who they really are, who they really are
like I know you
I got it
I got it now
Everyone's been hearing whispers in the dark, whispers in the dark
and we don't know why
Everyone's been hearing whispers in the dark, whispers in the dark
and we don't know why
And once we understood what that voice was saying, what that voice was saying
how we prayed that it lied
There are parasites in the sky
Keep your light close.
Keep your little light close.
Keep your sad little light close.

You Can't

You can't do anything
Anything you want to do
Your mom and dad have got something wrong with 'em.
You can't do anything
Anything you want to do
Everbody's got something to give,
but you
Not you.
Everyone but you.
You can't do anything
Anything you want to do
Your mom and dad have got something wrong with 'em.
Everybody's got something wrong with them
and you do too
There's something wrong with you.
