lyrics

Some wrong turns you make

get you somewhere blank, like a parking lot

outside a stadium

the leaves barking

I had a trouble in my nature

I paced the sunlight at my borders

still the crumpled city slept

I am writing this for you because I think your music

has a traveling nature

and I am right now traveling through

my friends also have shadows

there's very little complaining

and we suck up love everywhere we go

How do I get to the swimming pool

where I can shave the moss from my blood?

No one trails.

No one talks.

Only the carousing merchants can tell me what to do.

and so they will while

I consider other things about your nature

this was written by several men

today we have to sort out our blood

consider the artificial creek

making the artificial houses seem a lot more real
