A degree of calm
Over the shoulder
The whole thing will crumble
Before this is over
Unstably glazed
And backed in a corner
Love yourself first
Only in that order

A light touch of your palm
Glassy and iced and steady
Slightly more withdrawn
But statuesque and heavy

The integrity of
A web of lies
Starts to fail when
Spread out too wide
A reference point
Too bold to hide
A creature of habit, destruction can shine

Your perfect timing got inside me
Like a germ that I took pride in
But just help me figure this out
Were we better off then or are we better off now?

Why so many questions?
Just flow and don't overthink it
Life is worth all the attention
That you can possibly give it
Lend your self the distinction
Work to live, don’t work to die
Just harness all that energy and give yourself some time

Got the boy with the Arab strap playing in the back
And that cat at the door looks like he'd rather be anywhere else
And somewhere in that soup of lackluster independence
I realized I lost a good deal of myself to you

The integrity of a web of lies
Starts to fail when it's spread too wide
There’s a reference point too bold to hide
A creature of habit, destruction can shine
