Turns out the leaving's no better than the being left
The same old combustion of heaven and head
Everything on one shoulder, nothing on the other
You're not some new truth I was put here to discover
Pulling with one hand, pushing with the other
I looked at my seventeen, thought I was above her
There's a steadiness, I don't have the words for it yet
An unreadiness you read in my palm through the sweat
I'll be watching this back on my video camera
Laughing the slapstick back into that anger
Eyes of the future burn holes in my head
Singing long live the moment, the moment is dead
Follow the line to its radical conclusion
My life's open wide, I don't mind the intrusion
Thought I'd be cooling your skull in the summertime
But I'm good for nothing, cocooning no lullabies
Here in this flytrap, the mother of alibis
Send your love back to that landscape where nothing survives
Never said I wouldn't be where you are
Heaven sent signals I'm wary of
I am not defending myself
And I'm not, I'm not attempting to scare you off
Never said I wouldn't be where you are
Heaven sent signals I'm wary of
I am not defending myself
And I'm not, I'm not descending, descending
I'm not, I'm not descending
