song

sweep the floor

its enough to read
magazines
in a snow 
covered room

motionless
inside the house
where the air sticks to your throat
and the temperatures below

soon...

refrain:
can't you see
they don't like us, they don't like us
meant to be, its not for us, its not for us
crunching teeth, can't you tell us, its not for us

the bag was full
of needles
frozen before
on the street

he'll collapse again
i'll sweep the floor
and tick thru the day
snuffing mildew and decay

refrain

I like the lyrics a lot. Especially the first part and last part of the refrain. Both very cool, I like the last stanza thing a lot, I don't know, it's almost depressing but the progression of images is really cool, it really conveys a strong feeling in it. Can't wait to hear it sung/with the amazing rice cakes playing behind it.
