Astronautalis - Short Term Memory Loss lyrics

You're turning off your course again That fall would k** a stronger man With hungry headlights closing in St John is looking welcoming d**h is always closer than d**h is closer than all your friends d**h is closer than we think He's closer than your friends and things We drove that car into a full-on spin I wonder just how it would feel if we dove on in I caught a glimpse of my screaming friend But when the sound cut out, I swore she's laughing Shattered lights spiral and blur on in And then rain sang along to her freckled skin This city's just a smudge on watery lens I couldn't help but feel helpless, so I kissed her again. Turn it off and walk away Don't look down into those waves You'll never be the same again And we all suffer short term memory loss From time to time You got him jumping everywhere Across the gaps and stairs Embracing every nick and cut And jammed finger face plant it's He doesn't care for good repair Soak up the sun and air And Chipped a tooth to feel the truth Breaking every bone he can't mend. The blood's the thing that drives the dream That makes him think he can fall off. The blood's the thing that boils to steam That makes machines out of our hearts. The tires breathing out Like tired moms and troubled teens. With secret smoke breaks Balancing between showmanship and discovery. Mister melodrama is over there covering things Directing traffic, mumbling, like "move it along, nothing to see" It's such a funny dream Its such a sight to see Honking horns and doubled breeze, Matthews bridge in a watercolor dream And I'm just standing there shifting in my skin Sifting grate below, fall to the rivers wash, taste my blood Embrace my breaking bones Turn it off and walk away Don't look down into those waves You'll never be the same again And we all suffer short term memory loss From time to time We all suffer short term memory loss From time to time x4
