This is where we live, and this is where we stay forever
Here inside a comfort nest
peace can swallow pain, digest it whole
And pass it on through honey stomachs, midgets of our lives
To do the work and get paid well before the sweat even dries
We have to make it so, even if we're afraid to die

There are places we won't go
We've built a cage in getting old
Remembering can lock you in
no going back, no matter when
We've got pictures in our heads: Nostalgia without regret
The storm has flattened our wings

We've been waiting too long
Give us hope, cried the strong
Nothing that obvious could ever be wrong
