Carrie Brownstein - Black Tiles lyrics

Watch the way they wait in line Play this game with me in time I see the way you look at me Your eyes filled with cruelty You don't have to confess To sleeping in the lion's den There is no end, no beginning Are you my friend? Black tiles in a line Watch them fall serpentine I see the snake in your eyes Are you set to tell me lies? Don't try to fight it, 'cause you won't, you won't Let it go, it's not wrong All we can hope for is a light That shines on after we're gone For all we know we're just here For the length, the length of the song I hope I know when it's done When it's gone No one knows what happens next There's no answer and no guess Don't look at me, I'm doing fine I'm just not your kind Look away, don't move too fast Fall forward, jump back There is no end, no beginning The warrior is not a foe and not a friend Don't try to fight it, 'cause you won't, you won't Let go, it's not wrong All we can hope for is a light That shines on after we're gone For all we know we're just here For the length, the length of the song I never know when it's done When it's gone
