Leaving Your Room

from Hold on Too Tight by Schooner

/

lyrics

Leaving your room
could be the luckiest thing.
Even this tomb
fills with flowers today.
The hooks that hold you
seem scattered today.
The hacks in this room
are hopeless and grey,
they’re looking away
at codes there eroding what you came to say.
Leaving your room
could be the luckiest thing.
Leaving this tomb
with a hope and a ray.
The light isn’t too
bright to burn or defray.
The backs there turn blue
along with everything,
and don’t look the same
as those that were there when the bottom was scraped.
And all of the money and land
it bought you a brand
of happiness you couldn’t keep,
and you lost your sleep
in the deep that conditioned your doom;
and all this will loom.
Leaving your room
could be the luckiest thing.
Leaving this tomb
with a hope and a ray.
The light isn’t too
bright to burn or defray.
The backs there turn blue
along with everything;
they're looking away
for anything you bought but never could change.
