lyrics

I gotta go out cause my place is a mess
The room’s on fire and the walls don’t connect
Fever lighting from a TV set
You can repeat as you please but each time it means less
Can’t scrape this place off the soles of my shoes and I can’t
Give it a name and make it something to lose
You keep to your past tense until you decay
Practice a monologue of things you’ll never say

Convoluted, made a stranger to your drives
Toil onwards in confusion till you die

For all the comfort of familiar things
When I went to sweat them out, they melted my skin
Resell it to me as all I am not
A misassembled mess set to break on the spot
Gnash your teeth and wring your fists but you still
Awake each day within this governance
Embroiled in the little hypocrisies
No you can’t stomach the kill but you’ll still swallow the meat

Urgent, urgent, no real person left to hide
Discount rates. Ample parking, low, low price

Why can’t we sit and reminisce like a family?
We’ll laugh and overlook the lapses inside me
A virtuoso when there’s nowhere to go
The more you plant, the less you grow
Come on man, I know you still feel it
A gentle vision staring down from the ceiling
A blackout image in livid red
There you are with him instead
And it’s like when the debris falls away
There’d be something like a new path to take
But you can figure your irration and skill decline
Groping for it as deeply as it’s denied

I gotta go out cause my place is a mess
There is a lake at the side of the bed
A sinking depth in weight of your chest
Of what you’re carrying, it’s good to know it less
Nothing will keep you like an old embrace
And nothing fits like what you’ll have to replace
And I can feel it beneath me through tangles of roots
An orphaned deepness, an iron tooth

As you probe at your design for cues
Satisfied in the violence past you
For the contents of your heart yet above
What thing is it but an engine full of blood
