Swimming laps through my head
Past the abstract excuses
I've passed off as facts to
My brother's piece in the
We excuse assholes and bastards
the detail their defects in beautiful songs
is it a free pass I'm banking on?
It's eyebrews and a brush wash
Nail marks from a feather bed
Reflex hammer cuts porcelain
And the doctors don't do anything
And it's mean enough to follow me around
So we're better being careful
So you should be careful for yourself
I've been working all day
to make the rest of my body
behave like my brain if it pans out
I plan to keep it that way
I think we kiss like dry dirt,
a dusty string of filthy words
A dribble out between spurts
You're the lesson I never could learn
You bruise in a brush wash
Nail marks from a feather bed
A reflex hammer cracks porcelain
And the doctors don't fix anything
So you've got a reputation
And you're bad at being careful
So I should be careful with myself
You're still the name I say first
And I'm trying to figure out
I'll bruise in a brush wash
Nail marks from the feather bed
A reflex hammer cracks porcelain
And the doctors don't fix anything
And I'm bad at being careful
So you should be careful for yourself
