lyrics

you could reside in the hills for a time
skin wrinkled, blotched over
you could direct them to fly through the air
and they spiral and bend in the way that you showed em

this is dated, fantastical, black and white signified
measure the years by the blurs in the lines
still weighty and sharp

but the blood from your lips is redder than mine
fast but not too fast it dries

up and you dry out
and wander agape all the time
til the ground is burning so quickly
and you're pacing the field as a witness
unfit but relishing fitness
the longest link in the chain,
fast but not too fast you fade

i was mostly at home all the time
skin crawling, head disconnected
chasing, single minded, sleeping alone
spiraling different ways than intended

this is wasted and wanting, and so paradoxical
i get what i want and the feeling gets nauseous
the blood in my hands is a flammable substance

but it don't shine,
and fast but not too fast it dries

up and i dry out
and scribble and cross out and find
that my fingertip reach is a sure thing
but finding's a prelude to leaving
shuffle & wait out the season
cycles ain't bringing me closer
fast but not too fast it's over

you could dodge all this trouble sometimes
still unmarked at least on the outside
dig your claws in between the lines
barely touching the ground, you burst into fire

this is youthful, plentiful, and mostly undecided
for any substance that could make your heart feel lighter
spiral and circle

the blood from your forehead is redder than mine,
fast but not too fast it dries

up and you dry out
get your head right and carry the weight
and just cause it's slumbering don't mean it died
and it lingers in your brain all the time
fueling the underfed fire
can't be waiting here for awhile,
fast but not too fast you climb
