A List of Normal Sins

We could be so happy
A man, born into the heart of it all, falls
A mother, a father
How normal
If we are measurable at all
Are we not
Are we doomed to it
Are we born to do it
But we could be so happy
We could be so happy

He knows only just what he sees
He knows only what the screens scream
It′s what you wanted
It's what you said
It′s the weight of the world you wanted
It's what you said

We could be so happy
We could be so happy

My mother said
Don't cry for his lack of life
Don′t cry for the man he is fine
Small crimes
Those are the big lies
And these are the facts

Peel away my sins
Wash me ripe
Hear my personality gripes
I′m unhinged

We could be so happy
We could be so happy

Nursing
Personality
Crisis in the midst
Take care of your edges
Feeling unhinged
Head tethered to the heavy hand
Head tethered to the man
It's what you wanted
It′s what you said
It's the weight of the world you wanted
It′s what you said
We could be so happy
We could be so happy

Stand up and bow down
Total discord of the union
You want to go down and out
But you're moving on up they said
You′re ruthless
Is there anything more truthful?
You're Godless

Danger!
Saw a barefoot pilgrim
Bending towards heaven
Bethlehem in sight
Son of a normal wife
Those are the big lies
Nothing left to ask

But the leaning tower leaned
Because it felt more bent than real
More left than dead on
These are the facts
There are no questions

We could be so happy
We could be so happy
We could be so happy
We could be so happy
