lyrics

I'm stumbling over the basics
try to find my stride and take it
bet it's tired of being naked
always out in the open spaces
breaking
down, I'm broken
tell me how to slow the moment
is it a mechanism? is it a mold?
is it a bowl of wisdom?
pulsing, throbbing
feel it in my heart, it's bobbing up and down
sob and
feel it bounce around inside my scars
it's robbing
me of my good will
like a bad man, masks his filth
with habits
I can fill a journal
with anything
but what happened

I'm just another Smith
Winston's got his other mistress
in this room we talk about how


flakes of glitter make the glass break
spittle, goes that pitter-patter down the glass
hate
this prism, it's like prison,
reflecting the innards back with him
feeling like his shit is whack
hit him over the head with a baseball bat
and kill him 'cuz he's dead inside to me
the meat is still in he
decides to leave while he's a head
heading toward the betting booth
but his eyes are tired, too tired to climb
I'm betting you he
can't see the signs, he's blinded by time and debt
nothing to make up for when he's already filled with regret
If I had a penny for every time I said that

I'm just another Smith
Winston's got his other mistress
in this room we talk about how

My bones are crackling in the wind
like leaves I've never seen or been
never seems to be the same as when it begins
I feel the pain, the seams are thin
seasons change
I look within, it's saying I'm already finished
but I'm not ready to give in
this limits our relationship, sink it while we still shit
up on the windowsill where pills live
around this rust bucket of love, fill it
I crush it between what's just enough
and kill it to lean up on my pillars
when they come up 'cuz

I'm just another Smith
Winston's got his other mistress
in this room we talk about how

in this room we talk about our losses, talk about our crosses
we crawl away in awe with the room
