lyrics

well he's just left the house of our heroine
and he's swearing that he's never going there again
and she weeps in the corner the tears of the mourner
she swore she'd never ever be again
and i watch, in the car on my friend's cell phone
in this town where, if every secret's known,
then i sleep to the sound of my creaking bones
never being left alone

so you'll translate this slow wreck to silent film
which you'll sell to make your baby sing again
but she won't last two weeks on that stuff that you eat
and she'll never feast where her fancy feet've been

heard yr cruisin on out there to ohio
and the mind that yr losin in some light show
and i know how we fought the ephemeral
still i'm hoping you'll make it home
maybe i was asleep and you caught my lie,
maybe what you repeat will not pass you by.
you don't hate me for what i did to you,
you hate me for who i am.

well he's just left the halls of our harrowing
and he's laying there praying the spring will return
but i know that the pages we light with our pens
won't create enough heat to roast every hen
but at least we can make the most of this end:

i'm a sleek silk scarf on a puff beige coat
he'll warm your arms as i surround your throat
i'm as damaged as Hamrick's will sell
hot damn if i ain't doin well

this act began in 2004 and just turned fourteen years old. it's been surviving on the fringes of interest since the day it was first conceived. it's worth doing. it's that thing of realising you are your own best friend and you need to take as good of care of yourself as you possibly can and in so doing you learn to take care of everyone else. ... more
