A Scale a Mirror and These Indifferent Clocks Lyrics

    Here is a scale. Weigh it out and you will 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. 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. 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. 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. 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?
