Lyrics All Sinks In

I've been turning a new direction
and polishing my reflection
to a dull glow something to show my friends for a while.

And I nod at torn and tattered,
'cos my conscience is badly battered.
And it screams,
"This time." Well, this time I am sure.

Now I recognize the classic signs of this unkind disease.
Be advised, please realize that it all sinks in on us sometime.
And it all sinks down all around us.

I went wandering out this morning
as the soup kitchen lines were forming,
and the no choice, lend-us-your-noise parade was in town.
So I turned around, and tunnelled in,
and dared myself to breathe.

And I'm seeing things that I don't want to believe,
and it all sinks in on us sometime.
And it all sinks down all around us.
