lyrics

'listen baby:
when you're close, I forget the big words
and the looks I rehearse in the mirror
like am I still the one-faced child
who broke his mother's backbone
dancing to the deftones
unaware of all the cracks, fragments, and ash that are setting on me?
headlights at the mini mart
thought I'd play a bigger part
feels right, girl, but is it art?'
'you were saying, who's your baby?'

'loving you has made me old.
never felt so simple, baby, let the cookie crumble
I don't care.
as I rest my head I see
a kiss beneath the streamers, lovers turned to dreamers
turned to skulls
"god save the bull, don't come at my idol!
last bend on the slipstream
drains into a shining sea
plug holes or the race sinks!"
I was saying, who's my baby?'

I saw pillows in the kitchen, I'll sow pillows in the world
I'll sew letters in the stitching to spell 'home sweet home'
I saw born-ins reading Alan, I saw boys that paint with mud
and soft hands displacing children who see the prints of stolen blood

I'm afraid I've missed the end
and lost whatever reason I had that made it easy
