lyrics

Slumped back in the mirror
where my eyes draw to static
and it pulse through the woods
like a horse drawing carriage
in the mist no one watches
as my face turns awkward
in the course of an evening
drives violent and hapless


- I only stood to watch through the curtains
of the veil that was lifted
in a stare so apparent
that I tore through my pupils
in a burst of introspection
-baited breath hangs like lantern


- Please call home if your safe
and decorate the outside with lights on strings
illuminate the night so you won't blend in
and speed in the air so you won't catch wind


Slumped in the mirror while I stand straight up
- phone's off the hook no dial tone
I can't risk another night's dreams
when they all sing songs like they know about me


Roof caving in though the beams stand sturdy
wordless apparition in the breeze holds hands
- I don't even decorate knowing that
time will destroy it if it's got it in it's plans


hands loose, candles, air noose, & canned fruit
i must not chip my teeth on the same spoon
i will not, sleep much, dreams with degrees of grief
& i should rest but I scrape through with weak knees


10 speed gears here
stripped in appearance
but we can make it home steer straight heed wait
seal fate with a crash and a snow filled bank
on the outskirts of town love waits while you pace


called from the mouth to the ear
words miss trust by a few
all the pieces are torn and subdued
- I'm not even cold anymore
in a home where the world won't do
