Loom - Pockets lyrics

rate me

How can we define what we hold so dear, <br />

Solely on a scale of monetary gain?<br />

So easy to place hands inside our pockets, <br />

Put our worth in our pockets.<br />

<br />

How can we deny that which we require?<br />

It's keeping us alive, while cheating our desire.<br />

Please don't feel sorry for us as we embrace aversion, <br />

Pushing envy into the back room.<br />

The days expire as we yearn to possess<br />

That which will never fill our lungs.<br />

<br />

It starts a whisper slowly shaping envy.<br />

Denying patience and keeping us in time.<br />

The shaking hands, desperately constructing a flawless haven, <br />

Undoing our intent.<br />

<br />

How will we ever feel our lungs when our<br />

Pockets overflow with fiction?<br />

We'll never feel our lungs when we're buried in pockets.<br />

We're buried in our pockets.<br />

<br />

How will we ever fill our lungs?<br />

How will we ever feel our lungs?
