Desdemona Lyrics - A Sucker's Dream - The Alternate Routes

Desdemona, help yourself 

I hear you mourning at the dawn 

Desdemona, ask which side 

Of all this lying are you on 

Did you build yourself a runway? 

Did you tell yourself tomorrow? 

Did you cry? 

And are you dressed in hesitation 

when you tell yourself that everything's alright? 

Cause I see a distance in your smile 

And what your Mondays have become 

could be the rest of your life 

Desdemona, you're not dead yet 

No it's not wrong 

If you want everything in life under the sun 

Under the sun 

Desdemona, you're in love 

Do not forget about yourself 

Desdemona, bring the people 

That you love inside your hell 

Cause you are younger in the eyes of those who see you 

Please forget about the time 

And throw yourself out on these brave and empty branches 

In the winter waiting high. 

'Cause everybody's out there killing time 

And I will be damned to let you stand here killing mine. 

Don't you know we're gonna change a whole world today 

We stop waiting on the world to change 

Desdemona, we are not so very different 

Do you see? 

And at the moment braver still 

Than what our minds let us believe 

Even the walls that will surround you 

Somehow steady by your very own hands 

I don't know just how to change you 

All I know is how to tell you that you can 

Cause I'll never tell you how to live 

But you keep on telling me 

That's just the way it is 

Desdemona more then anything I know 

Never tell yourself that's just the way it goes 

I know it goes 

But what do I know
