lyrics

thinking a lot
about the way you move
your pretenses,
and the Foucault in your murderous hues
you get so down
you fall asleep in the sound
but I'm so sure you're feeling it now

thinking a lot
about the fears you choose
how they tear you up
and the nature of that postmodern cool
you get so stressed
but it's all in the sense
that Borges, and Kafka, well they were saints

my girl, I know you care
about the names, and the numbers on your cigarettes
on your cigarettes
you're alone, and the smoke sits cold in your lungs
and the books, on your breath
separate your face from a hornet's nest
you're alone, and the smoke sits cold in your lungs

seeming a lot
like you're in love with a bruise
it's a perfect shade
but it's only around when you think of your youth
and I guess it stains,
all your clothes and your frames
of your reference and the same ones you wear on your face

sleeping a lot
I guess it keeps you soothed
it's your afterlife
made of cloth, your decisions and blues and I'm so out
well I'm so out,
but I'm so sure you're feeling it now

my girl, I know you care
about the names, and the numbers on your cigarettes
on your cigarettes
you're alone, and the smoke sits cold in your lungs
and the books, on your breath
separate your face from a hornet's nest
you're alone, and the smoke sits cold in your lungs

-solo-
*it...can't...end like this!-joe*

my girl, I know you're scared, but that doesn't mean you cant live with it
and my girl, i know you care, but that doesn't make amends for your lividness
you're alone, and the smoke feels cold in your lungs.
