Less said the better.

lyrics

You caught me turning off the lights that spilt across this floor,
that filled electric lakes to float our paper boat. mmm hmmm
Each fold made should help to keep these vessels dry your eyes
Origami lies.

Chorus
You caught me punching out the daylights.
You caught me covering up the tracks I made.
You caught me bleeding off the sickness, peeling off your make up

You caught me bitting off the nails I used to mark your back
Hieroglyphic narratives that could be read, with contempt considering
my inconsistent hand,
hand in hand and hand, hand in hand and hand hand in hand and

Bridge
Winding and entwining knitting cob webbed sails, built with breathless tales
Reaching and beseeching just like a tired dog chases his tired tail tail tail
tail tail tail, tail tail tail tail tail tail.

I caught you asking care worn wrinkles if they’d act your age.
Scratching out graffiti you had not yet made.
Reaching for the smog at night to spite this starlit, to spite this starlit night.
Night after night

Chorus
You caught me punching out the daylights.
You caught me covering up the tracks I made.
You caught me bleeding off the sickness, peeling off your make up

You better wake up wake up wake up
You better wake up wake up wake up
You better wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
