Its Not My Birthday Lyrics

    Well the rain falls down without my help i'm afraid
    And my lawn gets wet though i've withheld my consent
    When this grey world crumbles like a cake
    I'll be hanging from the hope
    That i'll never see that recipe again

    As i walk, i think about a new way to walk
    As i think, i'm using up the time left to think
    And this train keep rolling off the track
    Trying to act like something else
    Trying to go where it's been uninvited

    It's not my birthday
    It's not today
    It's not my birthday, so why do you lunge out at me?
    When the word comes down, "never more will be around"
    Though i'll wish you were there, i was less than we could bear
    And i'm not the only dust my mother raised

    So, i'm rattling the bars around this drink tank
    Discreetly i should pour through the keyhole or evaporate completely
    But there'd be no percentage, and there'd be no proof
    And the sound upon the roof is only water

    And the rain falls down without my help i'm afraid
    And my lawn gets wet though i've withheld my consent
    When this grey world crumbles like a cake
    I'll be hanging from the hope
    That i'll never see that recipe again

    It's not my birthday
    It's not today
    It's not my birthday, so why do you lunge out at me?
    When the word comes down, "never more will be around"
    Though i'll wish you were there, i was less than we could bear
    And i'm not the only dust my mother raised
    I am not the only dust my mother raised
