Keep Digging Lyrics
through rough brick and ivy
along those rusted ribcage tracks
nostalgia comes smearing pockmarked streets
on the thicket of night
a specter of yourself / some sepia murk
caught in streetlamp strobe / on the thicket of night
I notice now that now unlike those sidewalks
new cracks have unraveled your face
a reenactment / a forgotten dance
speech monochromatic / your staggered lapse
the sheen of your eyes diluted on listless tongue
although you don't speak it all I hear is
"it wasn't supposed to be like this"
an archetype fermented / an acceptance born
you tell me you're getting up early
and I lie and say I understand
so you walk away blurring on ashen film strip cement
I think of bicycle wrecks and thin skin gouged out by girls
of laughter smashed into the moon
and kicking November ember leaves
tonight you'll be sung to sleep by a television lullaby
making promises of further disappointments
and monotony to come
along those rusted ribcage tracks
nostalgia comes smearing pockmarked streets
on the thicket of night
caught in streetlamp strobe / on the thicket of night
new cracks have unraveled your face
a reenactment / a forgotten dance
speech monochromatic / your staggered lapse
although you don't speak it all I hear is
"it wasn't supposed to be like this"
you tell me you're getting up early
and I lie and say I understand
I think of bicycle wrecks and thin skin gouged out by girls
of laughter smashed into the moon
and kicking November ember leaves
making promises of further disappointments
and monotony to come
