Certain Qualities Lyrics


Certain qualities are required 

To make you feel concluded when you fall 

You may find yourself with all your clothes off 

Standing three feet above them all 

The flames will be up to your neck like problems 

Far more concerning than the thought 

Of being someone, however not worthy 

Of anymore attention from the world 


Do you feel like those 

Who lie silent in their graves? 

Do they seem that close 

To the fertile earth behind your dreaming eyes?


Certain qualities are required 

To remember pleasure when it's gone 

You may lack the wit to see misfortune 

More entertaining than a stone 

Just like convenient crimes where noone gets hurt 

You wouldn't notice any wrong 

Inside those lines that I'm producing 

To make you feel connected to this song


Oh you bitter one, your love's labour lost 

Or was it nothing? 

Were you ever close 

To achieve the gift of understanding?
