lyrics

Kill the witnesses. They’ve got no names to give. They don’t know what happened. Soon, they won’t know anything. Synaptic skips in my head, strive to fight each fixation when every little thought seems so overwhelming.

The contour of your cheek, that slight slope outwards and down, directs my eyes  to  your  mouth. Then you turn and say to me: “we need to clean this house.” Moldy dishes crowd the sink. Stacked glasses crack and break under their growing impatience.

Get in the car and drive. Ignore the check engine light’s soft golden glow, it’s been burning for months now. Fill it up enough to get where I need to go, so nothing goes to waste when I finally break down.

Teeth will sink in until they puncture skin. I curse complacency, fear almost anything permanent. Dream of distant planets, they spin so far away. Sometimes the greatest shapes get overlooked or unnoticed.

How the tallest buildings cast the longest shadows over man, the hands that build these wheels only get crushed beneath them. How we assemble a symbol, sign or plan-- some simple slogan to breathe and believe in.
