lyrics

Jesse, are you really gonna take me as I am?
I think you’ll hate me. I’ll ape the dirt until it takes me, breaks me into
Two chords in sequence, defining my moments on screen
Two big thumbs down this talkie is
Too slow, too scripted, the actors all missed all their cues
I clear the room, oh I used to
Seek out a meaning to moments and feelings now I
Lock all my doors, my borders more
Locked down than Fort Knox, all concrete and blood clots
And scabs dressed for show waving their legs too and fro while

Our hairlines are pursued by time
We’ve said our lines
Stage hook creeps its way around your spine marrow
We are blown hollow
To homemade bars
Living off the heat of dying stars

All the blood from the bodies
Will spill out, form the Red Sea
They’ll send crews
To sew us closed
Push us off
Down here we all float

But our hairlines are pursued by time
We’ve said our lines
Stage hook creeps its way around your spine marrow
We are blown hollow
To homemade bars
Filling empty spaces with guitars
