Snibe Lyrics - The Rising Tide - Sunny Day Real Estate

Wilted flower seem strange to you 

With all this poison at the roots? 

Shut away from love and light 

And you wonder why it's screaming 

Old enough to abuse me 

But all too cheap to amuse me 

We stand at the market place 

With cold September eyes on the hungry people 

We passed the interrogation, signed our names 

At the bottom of the government paper 

Calling memories out of mind 

Pictures writhing deep inside 

And once you've seen it's hard to hide 

You wonder why you're screaming 

Strong enough not to fear me 

But all too loud now to hear me 

We stand at the market place 

With cold September eyes on the hungry people 

We passed the interrogation, signed our names 

At the bottom of the government paper 

[Unverified] 

Standing outside 

This winter time to waste your life 

You reign you die, you wait you cry 

This time in the light, a small flame in the night 

You come, you bend, you burn, you burn, you burn 

Sick enough to infect me 

But too far gone to protect me 

With courage we all fall down 

When the tassel hits the ground 

We stand at the market place 

With cold September eyes on the hungry people 

We passed the interrogation, signed our names 

At the bottom of the government paper
