Don't get fooled
Things aren't getting better
Not any time soon
There won't
Be any letters
There is no news
When things start looking up
You think you might last the night
Don't get fooled
It's just a trick of the light
A weary fisherman
Somewhere in space
He waits for me
Sweet hook
Brushes my face
He waits to see
If I'll buy that things are looking up
Maybe I'll take a bite
Don't be stupid
It's just a trick of the light
I've been standing by
Watching time recede
A lonely speck
A dying seed
If you still believe you can ever feel that way again
Or at least, that you might
Grow the hell up
It's just a trick of the light
