lyrics

Tell me your name if you know mine
And spill your life in bullshit rhymes
I sit unopened, half confess
That maybe you will commit the crime

If you call that a guess
It sure was a good one
It's time to dress up and sing
Like we know what it means
We'll howl at midnight
We'll paint our towns with one red
And keep our backs to the spotlight

If I'm a friend
I'll call you a stranger
We'll speak in truths with our
Eyes on the same prize
Unplug every danger
We want to be known in every word
So know that you feel somehow new

Common ground is quite a find
In you I found a matching lifeline
Printed stronger than my own
Kind hearts beat with red meat minds

Soak up the drip
We'll keep our heads down
My audience of one
I am if you want me to be
I sip on the transfer
I feel with the right, then the left
No questions, all answers

There are no signs
I ride in spite of
Losing sight
It feels alright that we left
Our questions unanswered
As we dug at a tried source of light
Neglected impressions somehow grew
