lyrics

Vinyl mornings, a marbled record with citrus tea.
Pigeon-towed, hair in a bow, she set me free.
In the beginning, they said "Calvin, don't you lose your heart!"
"naw, ya'll don't get it, this is different, we're creating art!"
Flip on the needle and surely she's slanging something sweet.
Licked a drop of her honey, my head was history.
I surrendered my armor, everything that I've garnered.
The archer hit the target, his arrow caught my sleeve.
I was happy jumping off that ledge without a net,
letting gravity pull the hardest that it ever did.
I dove as deep as I could get to your lowest depth.
Was scared of getting wet but steady I was holding my breath.
But your love for that role pushed you passed the edges.
Your watercolors could never cover our messes.
I never questioned what you expressed in that sentence
was not the same as what I said or how I meant it.

I never doubted that it was you!
now I doubt it ever was you!
I never doubted that it was you!
(oh but now I just doubt everything, everything, everything.)

With just a sniff of her indigo, I was set to go!
The definition of addiction felt incredible!
But then it flipped like someone turned on a light
when you went cold like a desert day into night.
Spun my whole perspective on its head.
I should have just grown some intestines instead.
The mirror showed reflections of a skeleton,
spine made of gelatin, babe I did everything
that I could to keep us afloat.
All the floating rows shoulda shown we were a sinking boat
disappearing deeper with every lyric that you sang
to my face in that basement. I kept my snakes at bay!
I was so avid at graveling at a rabbit I never managed to notice
the damage was so potent and holding my tongue became the same as holding a gun.
Your shoes of lead were way too heavy and led you to run.
I was so avid and now I understand this:
It was a madman's blueprint that built the labyrinth, draw!
Every Image makes me grimace, every image.
