lyrics

water runs backwards
down the drain in the antarctic circle
flush out those glassy eyes
with each subsequent reversal

try to erase the notes
on a last new leaf of paper
the headaches always last for days
so next time try to play it safer

the taste of medicine
one’s both a brick and a burning building
shelled out and zeroed in
it always kills me
fucking kill me

• • •

it’s building
to an unconscionable level
i’m standing
on shaky knees
we look into each other’s eyes
we’re falling to the correct beat
it gets hard to explain

over!
each day my life is over
through and through
i find it, crossed wires
it tells me the only way i’m touching you
i break through the conduit
which senses the consciousness side
when i’m running
overflowed
i feel assured that all around
they’re watching you
i know my life is over
we reach the perihelion and away
it gets hard to explain

over and under!
i follow the words
down the light circle cuts
it’s hard to explain

over!
their life is falling to pieces
i can’t explain it away
so it remains

crossed wires
i tear through the conduit
it’s hard to say
it gets hard to explain
