Monoglot

(album: Twisted Rivers - 2020)

Well mistakes leaving out this weekend he won't wait
Hoping no one sees him he can't stay
Holding on to somebody else
Switchblades cut up face it's midnight he can't stay
Bleeding on the street he can't wait holding on to somebody's life

Well you don't know nothing so leave me alone
Well I can't wait what you can't stay
Built this house from nothing
Except blood and bones
I can't wait what you can't stay

Fresh face feeling all grown up and she's so safe
Make up on her cup and she can't wait
Holding on to somebody else
Will hot knives cutting through the flash on a cold night
Whispering the secret is all right
Praying we don't need no one's help
Hold strong weather shifts the heading is all wrong
Whiskey drunk and singing the same song
Someone took the windfrom my sails
And the sun beats mist of morning washing this all clean
Wishing we could say what this all means
Left to translate it ourselves

Well you don't know nothing so leave me alone
Well I can't wait what you can't stay
Built this house from nothing
Except blood and bones
I can't wait what you can't stay

Fuck what I said yes I've always been in for
I'll never be nothing but dirt do you people
So take what I give or I suggest you leave it alone
Brilliance is spoken around corners and curves
And I don't know the language much less know the words
But I listen intently and try hard to follow along

Well you don't know nothing so leave me alone
Well I can't wait what you can't stay
Built this house from nothing
Except blood and bones
I can't wait what you can't stay
