lyrics

Ooh, solitude
Solace now, hallelujah
But I don't believe your heart
No i can't believe that hard
All in tune, all in station
Try my mood, try my patience
But I don't believe your heart
And I can't believe that western garden

Don't forget the puppet on the string
Is not an issue
So impressed with all your pageantry
You're not allowed to, it's not about you
Can't expect that perfect harmony is all around you
If you can't live in this ecology
It's not an issue, it's not about you

(It's not an issue, it's not about you)

Oh, now I'm green
I'm obscure, I'm obscene
But I can't believe these sins
No I don't believe they'll win
How are you?
Are you sorry?
Nevermind, come adore me
But I don't believe your heart
And I can't believe the worst about it

Don't forget that all of your despair goes on without you
You don't have to push it everywhere
You're not allowed to, it's not about you
Bear in mind it's all of ours to share, isn't it obtuse?
If you can't be impressed upon to care
It's not an issue, it's not about you

However did you know?
That I can't leave it dead
The horror and the guilt infected in my head
You're standing in the way, there's nothing you can make
Just listen for a single second

Don't forget the puppet on the string
Is not an issue
So impressed with all your pageantry
You're not allowed to, it's not about you
Can't expect that perfect harmony is all around you
If you can't live in this ecology
It's not an issue, it's not about you
