Told Slant - High Dirge lyrics

Wet my face in the bathroom Try and shave off the heat that you speak onto me if I have to I can shriek at a pitch more dissonant Sometimes I have to Like when I left your apartment In my shorts and knee high socks Wet faced, red eyed, and hair tied Riled up as a beehive It's a long life, I can't get it right You can't be whole When you look inside you'll find more of your problems And I need you around Like the ground needs a figure just to be something at all It's a long life, I can't get it right It's a long life, I can't get it right It's a long life, I can't get it right It's a long life, I can't get it right It's a long life, it will waste you in return It's a long life, it will waste you in return It's a long life, it will waste you in return It's a long life, it will waste you in return I like your house Trees bend and tire swing in your backyard Your mom went out To smoke and I could tell that you're worried about her It's a long life, it's hard to get it right I dirge for each "I don't have the time for you" And I dirge for the way that I am going by And I dirge for each 2 o' clock just waking up Oh long life, how is it that you go by
