lyrics

I'll make this opaque for isolation's sake. I'll mix paint, creating equations for love or disaster. I'll ask her, "Who stole who's love this time? Is it mine?" Is there truth in these staples and tape, Or is glitter just glamour as substance for things that you think? Is there truth in this childhood valentine? Is it love, is it lust? Oh my God...

Is it me or my belongings that puts a smile on your face? I'm not interested in you, I'm in love with the shapes you make. You're a number, and I'm a letter under-cover: Seductive in saunter, but poetic in posture.

How are you getting around here, with square wheels and rusted hinges? Reading books on big ideas, and building bridges just to burn them. I watched my shadow board a train and tell me stories when we meet again. Weathered by weather, I wonder if I've done anything worth writing home about.
