lyrics

the city soft-lit like a kiss in a movie
the violins swell till they pass right through me
that old matte backdrop somehow still fools me
I was happy I forgot myself

lily shapes on liquid display
your mind eats your meat and it likes it that way
tracing the words that you'd never say
I's so happy I forgot myself

breathing fog upon my window
the way old painters painted halos

I can't help but to put on the past
the soft power of voices like windshield glass
the mystery's always so matter-of-fact
I's so happy I forgot myself

wake up to the ghost-grey song of bulldozers
the back-up beep sounding over and over
