lyrics

Cemetery district
where you visit
'cause the flowers
are still nice this time of year

I'm a prisoner
and the warden is
every word you left between my ears

As of late
I'm a good kid
I'm a good kid

I'm afraid
that if you notice
well then you'll notice way too late

I pirouette
I'm spinning bad ideas on my fingers
looking pretty on my toes

and my ambivalence
is the perfect debaser
in the face of the answers I don't know

I don't know
but I've been told

that I will follow through

It's just a matter of time and place
and the tides and waves that pull me
even if I wanted to
I don't think that I could

swim that far
or hold my breath that long
long enough for you
to see me on the other side

I lie awake
watching mother earth
play the dominatrix
through a whole inside the wall

I tie my wrists
and submit to the force
I can not explain or just ignore

anymore than
I can dismiss
the mysticism knocking on my door

I'm afraid
that if you notice
I will not be here anymore

but I will follow through

It's just a matter of time and place
and the tides and waves that pull me
even if I wanted to
I don't think that I could

swim that far
or hold my breath that long
long enough for you
to see me on the other side
