lyrics

It's a bring-a-tear-to-your-eye day
On Wind Tunnel Avenue
Every eye that I meet on the street knows
That something's on the brew
To my right I can see meaty rainclouds
Stacked up and rolling in
My calm heart is free from sin

Good hot coffee is just as tasty
On a sunny afternoon
These days I find the weather reflects,
Rather than affects, my mood
The temperature of the air today
Feels the same as that of my skin
My calm heart is free from sin

I have floated on panic to many adventures
Too many to name
I've ridden waves of illusion I believed so real
That real they became
But when the sea and the sky put you down too hard
The shock must be taken in
My calm heart is free from sin

I've been guilty of negligence and gross incuriosity
I've demanded sustenance from worlds whose air
Just wasn't meant for me
I've fought with all my heart
Battles I knew no one could win
My calm heart is free from sin

A few days before the longest
I walked out into the night
It's on the shortest ones I get impatient for the light
But when the sun comes up
And the mist clears out
It thickens
Just before it thins
My calm heart is free from sin
My calm heart is free from sin
