City of blue tile
Figure in Ceramics
Where we reach out
Grab for Porcelain
But it’s too fragile to hold
And it shatters in our hands
In time the seasons will seal these shards
Into the slits that denote your wrists
Death is the answer
To calculations composed of motions that are the same
And secret and different
A missing alphabet with a message for us When people die
(DIE, DIE!)
They take a piece of us with them
(PEOPLE DIE AND DIE!)
And holes in clouds are minutes passing
(DIE AND DIE!)
Rescind this line and several ties
(PEOPLE DIE AND DIE EVERYDAY!)
The skyline unfolds into explanation
That sometimes words give up And silently walk off the edge of the page
And here the cry opens up reveals the word inside
The crack in the porcelain
The silent line of sky-lit eyes show
Death up there shine more brightly than lives down here
Try and live
Though Understanding... was the first song I heard. I went crazy for them and jumped on Napster (lol napster jezz im getting old) at that time and found this song it still hits just like the first time I heard it. Ive Seen them twice met the whole band once. Crazy pics (with Geoff) and autographs lol. Though I dont have many friends who appreciate Thursday I am forever tied to their music and amazing down to earth presence. Thursday is just simply a pleasure.
This used to be my favorite band and i got the chorus tattoded on my ribs as a memorial for my friends i saw die in Ramadi Iraq but the newer stuff killed it for me.
I really dig thursday up to A city divded by the light (I have mix feelings for it) Kill the house lights has early versions of Common existence and demos off Full collapse with some live songs. Its eh but the dvd side is interesting. War all the time was pretty good and catchy. Full collapse and waiting are legendary on my book
