There are better ways to leave a mark
than doing card tricks all in the dark.
So speak, though you're sandwiched in,
because you can't make a mess unless your vested-in,
and despite my itches I've got to keep my
motives hard to come by.
Wind me up in your stave,
I love a lot of things that misbehave,
you've got billboards and broad strokes for tonight,
but you'll falter when I hit the light.
Don't count your words before the pen's in your hand,
this side is desperate to be green.
Don't count your words because you don't understand,
what you're becoming to mean.
Wind me up in your stave,
I love a lot of things that misbehave,
you've got billboards and broad strokes for tonight,
but you'll falter when I hit the light.
It's a product of academic distillation;
Speak, though you're sandwiched in, (put it in a nutshell)
and I'll play the part of all of the people left awake,
you're passing undetected.
Hold this plan while I flee from off the
branches of this stubborn tree
that wouldn't climb be.
We're too small to come by.
What are you going to say to the scars on my insides?
Show me your darker side and I'll
give you the password to cross my mind,
but despite my wishes you're going to be my
words I wish I lived by.
Wind me up in your stave,
I love a lot of things that misbehave,
you've got forty more hours to get out of my sight
or I'll falter when you hit the light.
If it's fate or foresight,
you've got gloves, and I've got
hands to wash;
we're lights and we're moths.
We'll chase ourselves
round the corners to where the blood stops;
we're spills and we're mops.
