Lemon Mouth

(album: I Won't Care How You Remember Me - 2021)

See myself in half-light
Carved from anthracite
Bad with faces, bad with names
Quick to procrastinate
Roll my shoulders back
Set my clocks ten minutes fast
Empathetic heart
It's hard to stop once I start

Saw you in a recurring dream
Spoke to me through clenched teeth
If I don't write it down I won't remember
If I don't say it now it's gone forever
Start looking for answers in a psychic mirror

My competitive nature
Keeps me keeping score
Tripping over my own feet
Restless when I'm bored
Time moving in dog years
I'm yellow, then I'm blue
So much overthought
It's hard to stop once I start

Saw you in a recurring dream
Spoke to me through clenched teeth
If I don't write it down I won't remember
If I don't say it now it's gone forever
Start looking for answers in a psychic mirror

This empty house
A lemon mouth
Erase my doubts
Better late than never
