lyrics

I’m searching for the souls who feel older than their names
With mismatched clothes and shallow foes, who always look the same
And an underlying desire that they dare not say out loud
But perhaps they live beneath a rock or else are much too proud

On a mountain top beneath the sea that’s where I think they'll be
In a place that's too impossible for shame or misery
And the sound of distant harmonies, being sung slightly off key
Reminds that imperfection can mean far more than beauty

So hey you, what you gonna do?

If quiet confidence offends, I'll shrink back happily
To the violets down in Parma in the purple dusted breeze

There's no need to adopt a haircut to confirm identity
No t-shirt sloganed arrogance to contest with society
If you want more well I’m afraid you just get what you see
If you don’t believe fair enough but please just leave me be

In a battered neon old tin can thats darker than you’d think
With manufactured hollow sounds even the bile is pink
The only way I’ll make it through is with another drink
This is far from the rainbows edge, into the gold I sink

So hey you, who you gonna do?

If quiet confidence offends, I'll shrink back happily
To the violets down in Parma in the purple dusted breeze
