lyrics

Hidden in the lines on the pink of my palm I've got a future shining, bright, if I could just stay calm long enough to read it right. To keep my thinking clear. But sometimes now my chest gets tight and I can't seem to hear when they say it's all just in my head. This strange idea I'm almost dead. There's something up with the leaves I'm finding at the bottom of my cup, but if I just dump them then I won't have to know what tomorrow might hold, or the life I could lead. It's easy to hide from the things you can't see. So I'll just dump them, and I won't have to know. I'll leave my fate up to luck, and if I draw the Hanged Man let's hope I can read it right. Keep my thinking clear. But sometimes now my chest gets tight and I can't seem to hear when they say it's all just in my head. This strange idea I'm almost dead. There's something up with the leaves I'm finding at the bottom of my cup, but if I just dump them then I won't have to know what tomorrow might hold, or the life I could lead. It's easy to hide from the things you can't see. So I'll just dump them, and I won't have to know. I can just guess where all my fortune telling friends want me to go.
