Well the rain falls down without my help i'm afraid

And my lawn gets wet though i've withheld my consent

When this grey world crumbles like a cake

I'll be hanging from the hope

That i'll never see that recipe again



As i walk, i think about a new way to walk

As i think, i'm using up the time left to think

And this train keep rolling off the track

Trying to act like something else

Trying to go where it's been uninvited



It's not my birthday

It's not today

It's not my birthday, so why do you lunge out at me?

When the word comes down, "never more will be around"

Though i'll wish you were there, i was less than we could bear

And i'm not the only dust my mother raised



So, i'm rattling the bars around this drink tank

Discreetly i should pour through the keyhole or evaporate completely

But there'd be no percentage, and there'd be no proof

And the sound upon the roof is only water



And the rain falls down without my help i'm afraid

And my lawn gets wet though i've withheld my consent

When this grey world crumbles like a cake

I'll be hanging from the hope

That i'll never see that recipe again



It's not my birthday

It's not today

It's not my birthday, so why do you lunge out at me?

When the word comes down, "never more will be around"

Though i'll wish you were there, i was less than we could bear

And i'm not the only dust my mother raised

I am not the only dust my mother raised
