Curtis Buckoll - War-Time Tic-Tacs lyrics

I've been taking breaks from riding trains. So that I could talk to you. I've been singing songs in vacant halls. We are all singing all of us. I've been spending nights with your ghost. Because you don't call anymore. I've seen ghosts in every corner of this city. I could not begin to tell you how it felt. You would have to see them for yourself. Maybe they will hold your hand out of lust or pity. I've felt the wind peel back my insecurities, then I felt them rush right back as you followed it. shut it down. Drown it out. I want to embrace the sound. I'll put on a song to suit the mood you put me in. A song sung with empty lungs and tight tongues. For you I'll keep the worst of my words behind my teeth. But I cannot deny my best will cut you just as deep. I will cut you down with the lips and tongue I kissed you with. I wrote a song to let you know how much you affect me. A song sung with empty lungs and tight tongues. You better never mind the look I'm not giving you. You better never mind my pa**ive aggression. You can't love if it means too much I've been riding trains to pa** the time Because the damage was far too extensive. I've been singing songs to let it out Because the rails I ride are lonely ones My baby wanted me to buy a ring But I bought a guitar instead
