Nothing Can Change

Lyrics

SHARPLESS: We can try to move away Burn our hair off change our names Stare at beer and swallow light Touch each other every night But as my shadow leaves The empty space left in between The shallow ache of what had been And the loneliness that I have seen Our suitcase packed we've had enough Of trying to get mixed up with that stuff We're ready to change and to grow up Throw out the games in all the houses Where we slept over BELLOWS & ESKIMEAUX: (night after night) SHARPLESS: Where we grew older BELLOWS & ESKIMEAUX: (fight after fight) SHARPLESS: And our lives gave way To the things that we say Like we're stuck inside a play But as we close the door Suddenly we wanted more Just to be seventeen again And never say goodbye to all our friends FREEZE FRAME: Freeze frame back on this shit With another feat But this is not a repeat I keep it moving like a track meet While my boy jack is trapped in the way way back seat Roll through the slope in a '94 taurus The world at large safely ignores us But lately ruby red eyesight is driving my hindsight crazy Stuck in the maze of my memories With former lives and the lies I tell as enemies Who all signify that I can't deny all my contrived anxieties Fuck them, I'm back on the grind Progress is the quest and I'm making good time Pain is the past escaping from the mind If you want to grow up leave it behind MONTANA: Nothing can change if it's alright And you'll never grow if you feel fine JACK: Can we try again if we go back then? THE EPOCH: It doesn't really matter at all Is the answer to the hardest question Waiting for the apple to fall It's not why it falls but the fact that it falls at all JACK: Nothing can change
