It's Not So Bad At All

Graceless, falling, slipping in the cold With no one looking, can anybody see? The whole of your decency under the snow When you land, when you land Know all there is to know Splinters trigger, pain inside your thumb Don't give way to it till the ax has swung You're carelessly catching the strings while you play Relax, relax, let your silence have its say I dreamed of being alone It's not so bad at all Alone, it's not so bad at all I know, I know, it's not so bad at all I sleep with my clothes, I sleep with my shoes on The sheets are twisted, getting in the way I stare at the carpet, it's stained by the sun Come on, come on, let this silence have its say I dreamed of being alone It's not so bad at all Alone, it's not so bad at all I know, I know, it's not so bad at all Alone, alone, it's not so bad at all I know, I know, it's not so bad at all Sleeping became useless When the thought had hit my mind Hit my mind, hit my mind The markings from your socks Impressing skin into design Into design, into design --- It's Not So Bad at All - Matt Pond PA
