lyrics

I always thought that this would end / with scaffolds crushing me to death / cautionary tales for city boys and girls

Images engraved inside my head / a dying Mozart on the stairs / in an unmarked grave / a bedtime story’s end

“Hush” you whisper “don’t you cry” / you worry that the neighbors might hear me / what can they have to say anyway?

I am on the other side when everything’s in motion / I’m in all the photographs and nowhere in the caption

Poetry and rigidity / the curses you passed on to me / I find myself awake at night / waiting for the day

Please don’t ask me / the customary questions / I don’t know / what can I have to say anyway?

I am on the other side when everything’s in motion / I’m in all the photographs and nowhere in the caption
