Absofacto - Palinopsia lyrics

Every single night after the sky goes black I see your face, I think you're back You hover in the dark like you hang from a string But I flip on the light and I don't find anything It all makes sense, got ya burned in my retinas You left my mind's eye paused God awful optic tetan*s I never bother rolling over 'Cause you're over there too In the red light palinopsia In the blue light palinopsia In the purple light palinopsia I walk down liberty street after dusk A slave to a memory Projecting your face on every pedestrian I haven't found a match But there was this one With the right hair color and cut Another was wearing those shoes you bought Your voice made my cilia ring Radiating out of the throat of a dead ringer Singing on the corner for some change In the red light palinopsia In the blue light palinopsia In the purple light palinopsia One, two, three, four, five, now you're all I see You're frozen in time like I need you to be One, two, three, four, I will sculpt you A statue of a statue of a statue of a statue One, two, three, take it easy You're frozen in time 'cause I froze you in time So you'll always be there No matter if you want to (Twelve) You are the only one (One) You are the only one All day, every day Shadowy shapes are shifting back and forth behind The seedy operations that devour my time Don't take me back, don't take me back Take me back to that day every day These shadowy shapes are threatening to steal my mind I can't reason with them Every method I've tried is a bust
