lyrics

Repeat the same songs in our heads while they stick to our ribs deep inside of the jackets we borrowed from friends we decide to keep at a close range, from our pasts we forgot and all tried to reclaim.

As we listen to the heat coming from the floor vents, up above second floors in the three story houses we rent all our time drawing maps of the rooms in our heads we still bump into walls everyday.

Keep our feet facing forward in shoes that we've taped up again through the faces and smudges of makeup and ties on the necks of the corpses that fill up their mouths to the point where they're full.

These songs are the words and styles that we shape with our hearts and our fingers in splints that we shake at ourselves for times that we thought we were pure, with a twist of a smile we see everyday.

Our lives intersect, through a touch out of reach. I strum on the couch as you play in the street, for the patrons of pavement that look the other way.

This tension concedes to the arc in the path as the faces I’ve learned on this street flicker past like the ghosts in between the reminders and paint-covered pages,

Exchanging glances with a man keeping time on the side of his hand in his versions of songs that he heard as a kid. Now he prays through his fingers and strings in between the corners, a warning we see everyday.
