lyrics

Raising hell like that which can rise
From conditions unsterilized

Cracks and corners sought like sunshine
Makes a keen eye feel so blind
I can see you all the while

Falling inwards like you meant to

This old film I can’t quite sit through
Now I want to be alone without you

Someone's walking out the back door
Someone's drinking on the front porch
Two shoulders from my left shoulder
Wet lips spoke my name in code and
Three steps from the source of water
Pushing through to leave the center
Hits me like a bullet proper

We will all forget this place some day
I'm gonna die where is the time

Two hours took their shortcuts

Three am and nothing for us

All the music fades to chaos

All the debts and promises

Fulfilled blindly celebrated

Someone’s lost their goddamn wallet
I’m the one who’s not forgotten

We’re all goners we’re all goners Now

Automatic auto pilot

This machine is idiosyncratic

You’ll turn leftwards I’ll step backwards
Check my pulse until I’m better

Now I can see, I don’t want to leave

I’m here to claim what was promised me
Check the living room, target on the move
Once I find you, I won’t follow you

Now there’s still time to take the back door
There’s still time to catch the ardor
Drinking on the bitter water

Turn us up for worse or better
At some point I’ve seen these pictures
Art class neon oily specters

Portrait of the hostess tragic

She has never cried a day in her life

The chill is in, let’s stave it off

You tell the joke, I’ll start the laugh

We’ll find the stash and tip one back
Whose joke was this? And here’s the trap
I see it all and all I see
Is we are nothing actually

And you are nothing actually

And I am nothing actually

I guess we’re not to worry

I guess we shouldn’t worry

We’re all goners we’re all goners Now
