Lyrics
Waiting on a freight train
To take me backwards down the tracks again
Hazy heads and loose lips
Steady backpedal, sinking relationships
Holy shit I’ve done it this time
Tripped the switch, the steady drip wears down the wire
In between a scream and silence
If my eyes look tired, please don’t mention it
Fake it til you make it and make do
For heaven’s sake, the fresh wash smells of mildew
Pillowcases hide the stain of the fever dream
And waking nightmare
And we wonder why we can’t sleep
Holy shit I’ve really done it this time
Tripped the switch, the steady drip wears down the wire
In between a scream and silence
If my eyes look tired, please don’t mention it
Higher than the trees and climbing
Inspired at the least, or at least I’m trying
Hibernation is a tease for certain animals like me
With these shaky knees
So please don’t seek me when I’m hiding
Waiting on a freight train
To take me backwards down the tracks again
Barreling boxcars keeping a heartbeat
Parallel postulate, when will our lines meet?
