Stagger to caffeine
a wordless conversation.
Off-white precipice,
painted lot of cracked real estate
stretching out toward dead grass.

lyrics
Find a point, but change your position
Like a child, I wouldn't listen
Dragging smoke on an olive leaf
Yeah, it's cold, but we're sticking to the mission
In all reality, this is the best of things I never wanted to happen
Yeah, my colors get me some attention
Under my coat, they're never worth a mention
Run my nails on the backs of my teeth
Pull 'em out, yeah, the Blood & apprehension
In all reality, just sometimes say that you miss it
Wait, tell me the secrets you're keeping all to yourself
You're keeping all to yourself
Push through me, your whisper
I feel the gravity shift
Trace your thoughts on my ribs
Wait, tell me the secrets you're keeping all to yourself
You're keeping all to yourself
Push through me
Your whisper cuts through the cars and the swells
This tangled insistence
(I know we're gonna make it but
I'm running out of space to hide)
I'm the only one who hates me
All this jealous love frustrates me
