lyrics

I might decay like rust that can stop the bus
I don’t blaze like a fire with burning lust
I’m not plaid like a rug that can hide the dust

Every time you mistake feasible dues
My neck bends and my face inflames
Stop the regress, look at me plain

Is it impossible to see that nothing’s changed
Because it’s not possible to teach that no things change

You’re not listening to me

I’d invite you in but I’m spasm-ing
My feet slipped on the figures in my chin
On holidays? Can’t decide, so I’m drinking

Opportune gravity let me slip from the womb
Without the pen I’d spill ink on the page
Yeah I intend, but I’m not quite made

Is it impossible to treat insight like wind
Because it’s not possible to believe I’ve found something

You’re not listening to me

I might decay like rust that can stop the bus
I don’t blaze like a fire with burning lust
I’m not plaid like a rug that can hide the dust

Every time you mistake feasible dues
My neck bends and my face inflames
Stop the regress, look at me plain

You’re not listening to me
There’s fumes in this town, but there’s not much else around
