Of your peripheral vision
Now I know it wasn't fair of me
To always offer my opinion

I guess I should learn that sooner
But I always was the slower learner
Waiting for the next shoe to drop
Waiting for the next bottle up

Tiny ocean of tears
Tiny ocean of tears
Another tiny ocean of tears

I see you're writing your epitaph
It's a brand new glorious past
And when you asked me for a kiss
You made me feel like I was your Judas

I know it's complicated
But don't you think giving up is so overrated?

Tiny ocean of tears
Tiny ocean of tears
Another tiny ocean of tears

Don't you think it's so malicious
The way we give just to take with interest?
I can't seem to tell the difference
Between your blessing and window dressing

Chasing down another dollar
Stepping on another flower

Tiny ocean of tears
Another tiny ocean of tears
Tiny ocean of tears

I learn art from dead men
Sung from rooftop tenements, man

Tiny ocean of tears
A tiny ocean of tears
Tiny ocean of tears

Tiny ocean of tears
Tiny ocean of tears

Of your peripheral vision
Now I know it wasn't fair of me
