Audible Sigh

Lyrics

[Intro] 1, 2, 3 [Verse 1] All these vain distractions Yeah, and the worship of the buck Somewhere I think we gave out At this club called the Out of Luck It's deeper than the blackness Yeah, that all the blacktop holds Starving for an omen And the spaces, they're wide open [Chorus] And it's where you cast your heart tonight From your less than humble home And out here, don't you learn to bleed Like something from a deeper need? And all that's underneath unheard Still unspoken, in other words The open sky Audible sigh [Verse 2] A simple sign, some good report Some human interaction The feeling's long since disappeared Reported missing in action An image lands the knockout punch At the end of every quarter Yeah, and trends, they are tomorrow's landmines We are always tripping over [Chorus] And it's where you cast your heart tonight From your less than humble home And out here, don't you learn to bleed Like something from a deeper need? Yeah, and all that's underneath unheard Still unspoken, in other words The open sky Audible sigh [Verse 3] Yeah, and all the common standards And the measurements you use To judge the labors of your hands Your threshold of abuse Yeah, and failure, she's a newfound friend You let her sleep once on the floor And when you rise to check out Yeah, she follows to the door [Chorus] And it's where you cast your heart tonight From your less than humble home And out here, don't you learn to bleed Like something from a deeper need? And all that's underneath unheard Still unspoken, in other words The open sky Audible sigh [Verse 4] Is it a sign you're getting sicker? Is it a sign you're almost well? The way it is with skin and bones Well, who on earth could tell? And you pitch your tent, and you sing your song By morning, you're forgotten And we're falling off that old soapbox And the chasm has no bottom [Chorus] And it's where you cast your heart tonight From your less than humble home And out here, don't you learn to bleed Like something from a deeper need? And all that's underneath unheard Still unspoken, in other words The open sky Audible sigh
