Lyrics Diminished - Pinback

Diminished

Days confused
Ruined by a past you hardly knew
The frost in your eyes
Irritated streams on others lost
These memories, it seems, cause cracks and one gets unglued
These tendrils proceed to strangle her reason too
Held apart
Every time is lost
But maybe once in a while
You’ll catch 'em
When all the walls are brick
And all the racing’s fixed
You’ll change expression
Damned if you
Didn’t hide your face I’m sure they knew
When thoughts cross your heart
Bypass all the strain of being you
When most people dream, their subconscious locks on you
You’re wrapped in your scene, and blanket of things you drew
Don’t be frightened, someone caught you napping
A knock on the door in advance didn’t help this time
Every Sunday you look out the window
To count the tracks in the snow till they get back
Should it be so hard to have a nice day?
Should it be so hard to have a nice time?
Don’t feel so worthless in the meanwhile (x2)
