Deflector Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm a colorless banner
Flown at half-mast
I'm a vessel for
Last contact
I'm a secondhand piano
Incapable of tune
Providing the score
For "gone too soon"
[Chorus]
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
That's too personal
I'm too delicate
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
I'm not comfortable
I rarely am
[Verse 2]
Been a sideline voyeur, a conscientious deflector
Been an underpin for something better
Been a faulty poet, a personal arsonist
Been a last responder to my own self interest
[Verse 3]
Cold-shouldered by design
Sleeping in on borrowed time
Lets sing, just one more
I'm a trapeze act missing contact
A long way down to the floor
[Chorus]
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
That's too personal
I'm too delicate
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
I'm not comfortable
I rarely am
[Bridge]
Been a broken record, a conscientious deflector
Been a sounding board for an absent savior
Been a faulty poet, an ambivalent nihilist
A last responder to my own self interest
[Outro]
I won't dive right in
I'm too delicate
I won't dive right in
I'm too delicate
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
I'm not comfortable
I rarely am

This song was originally recorded the year before as a trial run for working with Ross Robinson. We brought in a song to feel out if we had any chemistry with a track we felt was 95 percent finished and damn were we wrong. Ross added about a minute to this song and really took it in a direction we n...
