lyrics

stops pulled out because no-one's thinking. seething, smiling at the lens. while ashes cake and metal flakes, we just watch in awe. where that leaves us, it depends. 'cause we're up all night. cars passing flash their brights. the hardbacks so fast ignite and, burning white, are swallowed.

jars of gauze and rotting apples. yr arms torn up the morning after. disappear; don't let me find you. god forbid should i surprise you. through body aches and harsh talks to scare you straight, 'it takes months to make a change, but only days to tell it different.' 'cause it's easy work (all night, so i might learn). i'll leave you there, in turn, and burn every reminder.

it happened when you dressed down to play pretend. white tape to mark the ends. yr awful friends all cheering.

all icons blaring on repeat and burning up under the heat. when it's time to pay for our mistakes, you know you'll likely owe me (owe me).

down at astor place, with bite marks you just can't fake. sink in, ignore the taste, in case we won't believe it. when the lights come up (and play back the things you've done), wave 'bye' to all of us. we'll all be gone. we'll all be gone.

we may be bottomed-out from bottoms-up singing some day. it could be miles and miles and bones all wrapped with tape. if we get dragged in, on all-fours, through some old apartment doors, we'll be glad we live in separate cities.

i was embarrassed that i even came to be lumped in with someone so weak and insane. feeling it out as though i didn't know - smile as though i had been thrown.

but then when we're finally walking division street, you say what you came to say to me.

at this hour, it's hard to wonder where you are. good intentions never got me very far. when it's late, i hate to wonder what you'll do, 'cause if yr looking for good faith, i've got nothing for you.

i may be cracking, but i'm not quite flat-dead broke. i may be blowing kisses through rings of cigarette smoke. if we get dragged in, one-by-one, all before the night is done, i'll - alone - atone for nights this shitty.

was it the boys in blue? how many talkings-to? yr carrying on like neighbors do.

at this hour, i try to wonder where you are. good intentions never got me very far. when it's late, i hate to wonder what you'll do, 'cause if yr looking for good faith, i've got nothing for you.
