lyrics

I'll ask the questions here
starting with what are you running from
you waded
until your feet shriveled up

there ain't no shelter here
line up your demons in front of a gun
overstated
the prospect that I could not be different now

it's a tiny little joint that you got there, girl
you don't even gotta share
I can just take the walk with you
yea that's cool

and though I haven't been transparent I got baggage yea
it's been a weird couple months
spending too much time with own devices
sweet ruth, layman's truth

the structural integrity
can take the weight of clarity
as far it goes
as long as it takes

the structural integrity
can take the weight of clarity
as far it goes
as long as it takes

we're all high and numb

catharsis, phi phenomenon
mildly jaded
I'd rather be outside

and this banter's far too witty for me
and the cityscape is folding in
eighty paces
across the sand where I chose to draw the line
