You're Trailing Yourself - Kevin Devine[00:00:01]
The sputter and blink a streetlamp[00:00:08]
Makes you taller then shrinks you then splits you in half[00:00:12]
So you're trailing yourself[00:00:16]
On the walk to the pay phone[00:00:19]
Your pocket's weighted down with quarters[00:00:25]
In the hope that no ones home[00:00:28]
You spray paint cinnamon on vines[00:00:33]
And key the cars you pass by[00:00:38]
Your ears burn and your voice don't sound right[00:00:41]
So you spend the next week playing weekend[00:00:53]
Rolling three men alone in the dark in your kitchen[00:00:57]
Your apartment can't talk so it's safe for your secrets[00:01:02]
All the stories you've invested with a masochist menacing meaning[00:01:11]
Those tired tricks that you play[00:01:19]
To graft a life to your name[00:01:24]
And you know It's not yours but for now it's okay[00:01:27]
You wake and cut your initials in cheap glass[00:02:10]
To mark a space for yourself when you're time here is passed[00:02:15]
And you're drifted and done trading danger for distance[00:02:20]
And all those rocks that rope your neck[00:02:28]
Are finally nameless and weightless and faceless[00:02:32]
And you'll strip the sting from those stains[00:02:36]
That bleed the life from your face[00:02:41]
And your cheeks will burn red on that pure perfect day[00:02:44]
