Sediment

(album: Information Retrieved - 2012)

Every phone call, every single wasted breath
Is always taken down
There's at least a single paragraph a day
On numbers you left out

Single out a camera to focus on
Burn another bridge with your smile
It's a made up conversation
It's supposed to take you a while

There is a message from the company
On your way to the park
There is an agent who will greet you
Hand off the plates and go dark
There is the danger of complicity (Stay on target)
All they need is a spark (Stay on point)
If they can see through your duplicity (Keep to the mission)
Check if your wine glass is marked (Stay in the moment)

One false turn and it all starts again

In a villa on the outskirts of Taormina
They're staking your room out
On a rogue tip off a busker in Vienna
Who rolled you once down south

Churchill even painted a burro there, yeah
Really isn't part of your style
Is this a made up confrontation
Are you keeping us in denial

You dropped your boarding pass for Tuscany
Your train is prepped to embark
There is a separate continuity
The poisoned watermark

There is a message from the company (Stay on target)
On your way to the park (Stay on point)
There is an agent who will greet you (Keep to the mission)
Hand off the plates and go dark (Stay in the moment)
There is the danger of complicity (Stay on target)
All they need is a spark (Stay on point)
If they can see through your duplicity (Keep to the mission)
Check if your wine glass is marked (Stay in the moment)

One false turn and it all starts over again
