Standard Candle Songtext
von Monopines

You′re not a monster
Not even somewhat
You only feel bad
'Cause you got a big heart

When every window
Feels like a little television
And you feel like the alarm
On a snowed-in car
No one can hear you

No one but me

Everybody′s lunch smells the same
In the cage
I sleep drunk and catch up on dreaming
During the day


I mean you're a delta
And I'm a sewer
An unlit map of debris-filled
Underground dreams
And they′re about ya

I want a tattoo
Of a bird′s-eye view
Of the traffic on the day you were born
I think of you
As a kind of truth
Separating "after" and "before"
You're a good example
A standard candle
Our math tests got identical scores
′Cause I think of you
From a bird's-eye view
