Lyrics for You Can't Live There Forever

There's tiny worlds inside your mind Your fingers are a distant sky That you shove into your mouth To block the whole sun out It's better than living in the light To die over exposed so you fight And that's alright You're harmless in your mind You're formless in the night And that's alright What do you think is going right in your life? What can you know about life if you've never died? You think that the world is alright But that's a lie 'Cause we're afraid to die And that's alright Where is the action? Where are the streets that take you to bed? What is your name and what do you do here? We have the same thoughts clouding our heads Formless shapes in the darkness We are as harmless as the thoughts in our heads Drinking poison and chewing on concrete Burning holes in the sheets on our beds We think that the world is alright We think that the world is alright And that's a lie
