lyrics

make noises
because your hands don't work
because your words don't work
give me your tired hands
give me your weak words
there's no connection to the past
when she's got her neck
all twisted up again
no reflection in the glass
when she leans in
inhales your scent again
call me when you figure out
how to get that song out of your head
your entity precedes your music
i'll stumble home
i'll carry myself
you say
until i fall to the ground
we'll carry each other
there's an empty grave somewhere
waiting for me
devoid of character
like a kid without a home
like a piece of rolling stone
think about burning out
and rape and heroin
and a karmic house of cards
and a cross around your neck
sit on a stump and cry for hours
the great ones hide their natures
while charlatans fool us all
by acting like saints
scared when i enter the room
don't let them see my eyes
the blue
striking
clouded minds
sing a song with fear in its heart
not lonely enough to be approached
white ravens
black ice cream cones

this house is haunted
green eyes, yellow eyes
all eyes inside, inside
inside
the wind hooks and pulls
at your skin
hardly noticing the state you're in
you want to be connected
but you sit close to the exit
you want to be connected
but you sit close to the exit

we get together
we must ride
when we're stuck
our heads collide
swallowing the good moments
until my throat hurts

moving towards a real disaster
moving towards a real disaster
hitch up the car for this disaster
hitch up the car for this disaster

see the man in the tall black hat
he looks at me, i step back
can't even play him a real song
unless it's dumb enough
for everyone
axes, screwdrivers forced in your hands
put them down 'cause you're not violent
screaming at you till my chest hurts
till we best our worst

hardly noticing the state you're in
you want to be connected
but you sit close to the exit
you want to be connected
but you sit close to the exit

moving towards a real disaster
moving towards a real disaster
hitch up the car for this disaster
hitch up the car for this disaster
