The second song off of Pinback’s “Some Voices” EP, later to be compiled into “Some Offcell Voices”, which appears to discuss different aspects of perception: that of oneself, and that of the world around them.
Rubber wings
Butterflies
Tangled strings
Choke the victim
Lives on sand
Craves the ocean
Two that look
Won't see the same thing
Some will pass
And some will stay
All content
To live that way
Stick your arm inside the mirror
Crawl back into bed
Take a swim inside the mirror
Exactified
Exhausted
Some are things I can't understand
Like who is the hood and who is the victim
What is sand?
What is the ocean?
'Cause what I see can't be the same thing
Crawl back into bed
Take a swim inside the mirror
Exactified
Exhausted
(Comatose)
Comatose
Collapse inside the barrel
(Roll down the hill)
Roll down the hill
There's nails inside the barrel
(Terrified)
Terrified
These walls are awful narrow
(Mummified)
Mummified
Impaled on carpet's arrow
