Josie Lyrics by Cloud Caverns

Collective Memory

0

Josie was a little boy
Well, he never slept without his toys
He never left that room
Never bit more than he'd chew
Summer came too fast one day
And the children ran so far away
From dingy, dusty school light
Out into the day

I'm sorry for the world
I'm sorry for the tubes in your arms
Simple pleasures robbed from us
I'm sorry for the stars
And the wishes you ask of them
That won't ever come true
Though I could never tell you that

Josie was a little boy
Well, he read his books and did his chores
And he wondered about the sky
And how the Earth is round but we're all flat inside
And one day death kicked in the door
Took Josie's breath and all we lived for
Was crushed to carbon rubble in the cages of our chests

I'm sorry for the world
I'm sorry for the tubes in your arms
Simple pleasures robbed from us
I'm sorry for the stars
And the wishes you asked of them
That never did come true
Though I could never tell you that

I'm sorry for the world
I'm sorry for the tubes in your arms
Simple pleasures robbed from us
I'm sorry for the loves
And the lives you cannot make
And the hearts you cannot mend
And the ones you cannot break
