What is a mind reader to do with a person like this?
Do you think we're just waiting for me to jinx it?
You only wanna lie in the sun like a cat
Think of every abandoned joke and every starving laugh
We'll turn up the radio during silent rides
Be weights around the wailing insects, act as their guides
When you wanna wallow in the corner
It's all over
All their silver truths spring up out of the ground
Over rust red sunsets and funeral mounds
I think we're just waiting for me to jinx it
Don't bother painting a picture of your hearts
Care enough for me, so we can both restart
As kids, we knew magic was real
Long ago as forever, long ago as feel
As trees we grew strong and solid
You're just waiting for me to jinx it
Here is a knot to untie and an eye to poke out
It's nothing special but it'll keep the licking fumes out
Gonna say yes to the air and sky?
Kill the party before it dies
Us in the gentle blue wind, but I can't unwind
In small increments, we'll finish the last leg
The spongy thoughts squat and scatter in the end
End it quick if you don't want a draw, friend
Anyway, it'll kill us in the end.
