Verse 1

Here is a scale, weigh it out and you'll find easily
More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see
Were picked in advance by some careful hand
With an absolute concept of beauty

Verse 2

They are smeared and these blurs come in random order
To color the eyes of your former lovers
Hers were green like July except when she cried
They were red 

Verse 3

Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat
You contract it the day you accept all you see
Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be
A reflection of something we're missing

Verse 4

And language just happened, it was never planned
And it's inadequate to describe where I am
In the room of my house where the light has never been
Waiting for this day to end

Chorus

And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore
Everything that we hate or adore
Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more
So tell me then, what was it for? 
Oh tell me, what was it for?

Outro

C Em Am F G7 x3
