lyrics

I’m asleep in these curtains
In the weight that brings down the house
Cuz I can burn bright
If you got a light
The haze of smoke’s been fading by degrees
And I’m tracing constellations on these scars and memories

If i could just spell it
In red velvet
And you felt it
“Perhaps” and “What-if” could get lost
Drift off like concrete dust
In a gust of gusto and bravado
Do you know I know you don’t think so

Shake and tremble
Muses remove me
Til I’m disassembled
And moving’s amusing

Like a radio commercial
Sings the death of jingle

Lazy river
Take my shivers
Beat me tender
You know better
I’m not a contender
I’m just a boy
At the mercy of dreams and infinite doorways
Illusions of meaning just keep pulling me
This way
Or that way
But anyway

I’ll show you the end
Chagrin to the wind
Joy the void
That’s enough
Love lost
Hate escaped
And that’s it
And that’s it
