lyrics

I don’t want to fall into a mirror phrase set by the fault lines
But summer’s on the way, breeding your fashion-forward disguise

Devils on your tongue, strip malls deferring fate-- but just for the weekend
Camera shy intent dragging the evening off the deep end

You’re scraping up a gravel shrine
When appetizing exits fall together
Reciprocation over time, but I don’t mind

Roaming in a parking lot of cars
And the moonlight hour is falling fast
Rolling like the cycles in the sea
Hiding cancer in my sleeves, but all that’s over now

The sunny side of life is all antiseptic prose, reliable cycles
Never turn your back, translate evaporated bibles

You’re scraping up a gravel shrine
When appetizing exits fall together
Reciprocation over time, but I don’t mind

Roaming in a parking lot of cars
And the moonlight hour is falling fast
Rolling like the cycles in the sea
Hiding cancer in my sleeves, but all that’s over now

But all that’s over now…..
But all that’s over now….
