Ephemeral Artery Lyrics
Seeming stripped of all the faults that you've assessed
You're possessed
To impress
Jilted facades are a losing game at best
Your shadowed face
Scattered hands
Timid shrugs still displaced
Let it spill onto the street
Either way we're incomplete (ah)
You know it doesn't hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat (ah)
Broken mirror shards layed out and rearranged
Still the same
Just reframed
Inverse reflection you're expecting to receive
But when you seek
Doesn't ring
Any bells so to speak
Let it spill onto the street
Either way we're incomplete (ah)
You know it doesn't hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat (ah)
You're possessed
To impress
Jilted facades are a losing game at best
Your shadowed face
Scattered hands
Timid shrugs still displaced
Let it spill onto the street
Either way we're incomplete (ah)
You know it doesn't hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat (ah)
Broken mirror shards layed out and rearranged
Still the same
Just reframed
Inverse reflection you're expecting to receive
But when you seek
Doesn't ring
Any bells so to speak
Let it spill onto the street
Either way we're incomplete (ah)
You know it doesn't hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat
Hurt to cheat (ah)

Could this song be about letting loose and living life fully no matter how much failure you face? I especially get that vibe from the line, "Let it spill onto the street, either way we're incomplete." It's basically saying to be who you know you are, either way we'll always be in a constant state of change, never perfect.
Think this is it? With above mentioned corrections, and I think the first (???) is Timid? And end section than complete x4 instead of incomplete?
seeming stripped of all the faults that you possessed you possessed...to impress
tilted facades are a losing game at best shattered face, scattered hands, timid trust, still displaced
let it spill onto the street either way we’re incomplete
you know my thoughts aren't hard to teach hard to teach hard to teach hard to teach hard to teach ahhh
broken mirror shards laid out and re-arranged still the same...just re-framed
and best reflections you're expecting to receive the one you seek doesn't ring any bells, so to speak
let it spill onto the street either way we’re incomplete
you know my thoughts aren't hard to teach hard to teach hard to teach hard to teach hard to teach ahhh
let it spill onto the street either way we’re incomplete
and I’d rather be obsolete, than complete than complete than complete than complete than complete
saw these guys live at lee's palace in toronto this song was a mindblowing hair raising moment in my musical development and growth
i just couldnt help but dance up a storm
This song is the greatest!
I'm pretty sure the last bit is 'I am waiting incomplete and I'd rather be obsolete then complete.'
Hmmm, I think it's:
