lyrics

They used to find you in the back yard painting pictures of the things that you'd created
or pouring over letters from lovers


but now, goddamn, I swear the pressure drops to the basement when you walk in
I'm wearing thin when these dusty fingerprints have more spirit than your skin
You wear a hole in conversation that would give a moth the spins
While I wear rings around my eyes, a round routine, around all the shadows in-between

I put in place these walls, or your words goes right through my ear drums
Making a nest where they feed off of meaningless connections

Does reinvention mean that you're too proud?
Or do you make excuses just to watch the minute hand go 'round?

I've grown sick of your fashion, you're tenuous lack of attention
Your idea of evolving involving a lack of human compassion
Actually It makes sense that you prey on the ones who believe in you most
because you'd play host to a multitude of halfhearted toasts

but it's a shame you don't mean the words you say
