Strung by vein to running mouth your whispers are the catalyst somebody
Please breath lies my blood's not thick enough I can't hear my heart beat
When you shut up still waiting for last rites still waiting on a goodbye
Kiss to sever the dead flesh and walk away a part of you please don't tell
Me you're useless with threaded lip my hands went numb to feel like you I
Should have known you were no angel by the way you said my name I'm running
Out of perfect moments I've grown tired of clothing the blood to whom it may
Concern you'll never keep my scars from healing you'll never leave my
Bridges burning consciousness comes and goes like the routine of three lost
Words lovers lay dead and when you're bound and gagged I defy you to define
Me it's the only way to feel like I'm still breathing I long for fresh air
Cleansed of sedition the waters listen closer that I tell them everything
Then take a deep breath

    To whom it may concern, you'll never keep my scars from healing You'll never leave my bridges burning Consciousness comes and goes, like the routine of three lost words

    This is such a great song and that is such a great line. First song I heard by these guys and it got me hooked.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
