we’re self-mending
we’re self-cleansing
our slate is clean, say what you mean
it’s our trip and we’re not listening
we’re taking grip
we’re talking shit
our slate is clean, say what you mean
it’s our trip and we’re not listening
we’re self-mending
we’re self-cleansing
we won’t flinch
we don’t give a shit
we’re not listening
we’re not listening
the past a dream and
the past no meaning
today was fine, so don’t remind me
i cut the lock now
i’m through talking
today was fine, so don’t remind me
just push away
push away
the past dries
the ink stays alive
the words remain to control the pages
i cut the ink now
i’m through thinking
today was fine, so don’t remind me
just push away
push away
every stitch too early cut away
every sour dish i laid upon the table
every thought that i left in the raw
i believe what they say
and i know these too will fade
hold me close
hold me closer
hold me cause i’m never getting over
i know you saved every letter
you know sure as fuck i remember
it’s a fallen time we’ve seen
but it’s all the time i need
so take it
i’ve seen the sun losing light
i blink and it burns so fuckin’ bright
it’s a fallen time we’ve seen
but it’s all the time i need
so take it
you spoon water like love
and i will take it
if you can take it
this is how we know
this is how we go
this is how we know
i don’t know what to say
when you’re so far from me
i can barely make you
i count two two three
breathe two three
you spoon water like love
and i will take it
if you can take it
you spin circle in verse
and i will take it
if you can take it
this is how we go
soft and slowly
don’t you know me?
know i count two, i count for you
given the thought i would have you again
i count two two three
breathe two three
you walk alone, you talk in code
it’s a light i can’t decipher
but eyes shut is somehow enough
under trick light, under trick eyelids
given the thought i would have you again
i count two two three
breathe two three
hold your air, hold your head carefully
we’re going through now, we’re going through now
feel your itch now, don’t stop to listen
we’re going through now, we’re going through now
when you’re thrown you never tell
you curl with the scary shit
you keep to yourself
when you’re thrown you’re getting through
you know it fits, it’s a slap back
right back at you
it’s so like you
but who’s to blame you
for hiding it all inside
who’s to blame you
it’s your choice, it’s your mind
hold tight through
so like you
hold tight now
i think we’re going through now
anything you can see you can probably feel
anyone who is far you can probably charge at
hold tight, remember today
anything you can grasp you can easily pass
to the ashtray
anything you can break you can probably mend
anything you can feel, you can feel again
hold tight, remember today
anything you can climb you can easily watch crumble away
and i would give the last shred of my broken head
for the songs you say, and the words you sing
i felt the night open my eyes
i find the morning paralyzing
it’s only who we are
anything you can see you can probably feel
anyone who is far you can probably charge at
hold tight, remember today
anything you can climb you can easily watch crumble away
anything you can break you can probably mend
anything you can feel, you can feel again
hold tight, remember today
anything you can grasp you can easily see is just plastic
and i would give the last shred of my broken head
for the songs you say, and the words you sing
i felt your light burn my days
and i know it only separates us
it’s only who we are
not what we claim to be
or we hope to see
just the songs you say
and the words you sing
you call the shots
it’s in your face, you don’t have to sweat
you call the shots, you learn to forget
what brought your stare
you call the shots
it’s in your face, you don’t have to sweat
you call the shots, you learn to forget
it’s in your face, you know what you’ve got
you call the shots
you need the touch
it’s in your face, you show it so well
it’s in your face, you don’t have to tell
your stare’s got no secrets left
you need the touch
it’s in your face, you show it so well
it’s in your face, you don’t have to tell
you need the touch
you power true, and i power you
you open your eyes, and stare into mine
a stare like yours is hard to find, it’s ultraviolet
you close your eyes and breathe
i feel your lips, you hit the switch
well you know that you’re on you’re alright
you can lift your head, you don’t have to try
when you have control you defend
when you don’t have control you pretend
pull me from the cold
and pass me to your shoulders
keep me dry and warm
keep me high and normal
cause i’m riding in your strut
and lying in your gutter
drunken and confused
ready for abuse
so let your earth quake, baby
push me to the ground
and break my ears of sound
i have never heard, i have never deserved
keep me deaf and muted
slap me til i’m stupid
i’m dying for your hand
i’d die to understand
so let your earth quake
go ahead and break me
my skin invincible
you can’t phase me
i will take whatever you give
if you pour i’ll be the sieve
and i will filter just to live
so let your earth quake baby, you know me
i surrender completely
and slowly
i’m feeling like a genius
i pound the wall i’ve built between us
my hammer tears
with my come i will repair
i deposit what i’ve felt
in the winter i can sell it
it grows in the cold, until the soil is eroded
so let your earth quake
go ahead and break me
my skin invincible
you can’t phase me
i will take whatever you give
if you pour i’ll be the sieve
and i will filter just to live
so let your earth quake baby, you know me
i surrender completely
and slowly
pray for a new age
pray for information
i can hope, see?
even if i don’t believe
pray for a new state
pray for communication
i can hope, see?
even if i don’t believe
and i believe
i think…
i don’t know
history will show
our progress is slow
when we win, we win in inches
the future deaf, so the few left will need a fist
when no one is listening
know where we stand
know we pay the man
it’s my flag
know i’m not kneeling
know what i’m feeling
my god above
or total lack of
but i lack
i think…
i don’t know
my faith is barren, i don’t believe the prayer
it’s not a sin and it’s not opinion
know i’m a man
know where i stand
in an affront to god and country
so pray for a new state
pray for assassination
i can hope, see?
even if i don’t believe
and i believe
i think…
water food and drive
water food and drive
we’re great, the sun sets later
static in the box
static in the cough
so hack, hack it up
so hack, hack it up
staring at the sky
staring at the soar, the pull
a death too horrible
static in the box
static in the cough
so hack, hack it up
so hack, hack it up
we live free
we never bleed
we live free
we know what we need
water food and drive
water food and drive
we’re great, the sun sets later
static in the box
static in the cough
so hack, hack it up
so pack, pack it in
end to begin
repeat, repeat, repeat
ride to me, right through me
repeat, repeat, repeat
ride to me, right through me
static in the box
static in the cough
so hack, hack it up
so hack, hack it up
one two three
forward
we can hit the floor now
forget everything i told you
one night is all you really need
but time is stuck, no time is enough
one two three
forward
we can touch the sky now
forget everything i told you
one night is all you really need
but time is stuck, no time is enough
we shoot so far and so high
don’t read me, don’t believe me
so far, your hold shows
no one can touch, no one can follow
kill the dawn
kill the alarm
kill the song
one two three
forward
is all i can see
forget the prints from your feet
one life is all i’ll ever need
the time is soon, time is moving
one two three
forward
the future we will wear is cut into fine new lines
some stick and some flow
some align, side by side
we’re past our sense, past the consequences
we’re past the fear, we’re through the mirror
we project a win, we protect our skin
an eye on fate, like any good nation
we keep breathing, keep feeling
keep time, keep your mind
don’t give a fuck about what we say
long as we keep time, and keep mind
the future we will wear is cut into fine new cloth
some work and some walk in a circle
some align, side by side
we’re past our sense, past the consequences
we’re not paranoid
i don’t think we’re paranoid
we project a win, we protect our skin
no worry for us, we sing in a chorus
and keep breathing, keep feeling
keep time, keep your mind
don’t give a fuck about what we say
long as we keep time, and keep mind
so let the dawn take us there to break it
so we can slow it, so we can soak it in
check the ground, check the sound
erase the sun, and brace for a new one
picture yourself, top of the earth
a foot in cement, a flag in the dirt
picture the world, forgetting to turn
we smack the sun you’re the first to burn
picture the galaxy, scattering
blood sand and soil
and cheap motor oil
our union our movement
our greatest high
the shit we die for
picture the shooting sky as we fall in the snow
picture the fire and wind as we crawl to the ocean
picture yourself, top of the earth
a head in the clouds, a hand in rebirth
i picture your face
i picture you naked
i picture it soon
we melt to the moon
