lyrics

IT'S AN INBREATH, A FEELING
AN OPEN MOUTH SPEAKING
PRESENT PERFECT
(GOT) A BLACK SHIRT, COVERED FEET
A HAIR CUT, A HEART BEAT
PRESENT PERFECT NOW
IT MIGHT STOP, I MIGHT GO
YOU MIGHT DIE TOMORROW
BUT PRESENT PERFECT NOW
FUTURE FEAR FOR FUTURE DEATH
FUTURE STYLES AND CONCEPTS
A FORM GUESSED INCOMPLETE
HISTORY REPEATS
THERE'S NO THEN, NO NEXT
NO THOUGHTS OR CONTEXT
PRESENT PERFECT NOW
THE FACE THAT’S OVER THERE
NORMAL GLANCE, ABNORMAL STARE
OUT OF TOUCH, EYES, EARS
HANDS MOVE AND FINGERS
THINKING ABOUT
WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE WITHOUT
PRESENT PERFECT
EVERYTHING IS REFLEX
ITS AN INSTINCT NOT AN INDEX,
NO FORMER LOVE, FORMER ROOMS
FORMER TIES RENEWED
CUT THE CHORD CHOOSE THE NEXT
TIME TO SLEEP OR CONFESS
TIME TO LOSE, TIME TO MAKE
IT’S IS HARD TO ARTICULATE
THINKIN ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE SAID AND DONE
THINKIN ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT MIGHT NEVER COME
THINKIN ABOUT A SITUATION OUT OF CONTEXT
THINKIN ABOUT THE WORD THAT SHOULD COME NEXT
THINKIN ABOUT LAST NIGHTS' TELEVISION SHOW
MAKIN LISTS OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DON’T KNOW
THINKIN ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT GO WRONG
THINKIN ABOUT THE PREPOSITIONS IN A LOVE SONG
THINKIN ABOUT ALL THE THINGS TO KEEP WELL HID
THINKIN ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU NEVER DID
THINKIN ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE
THINKIN ABOUT CORRUPTION IN THE GOVERNMENT
