Needles or Leaves

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Round and round and round And I got found like a Vesuvius skeleton At the bottom of hell, and you could bury my ashes Flashin' baskets of ashes; Matches the patches of lashes As if (azure the pastures of heaven) Actually bashing my head in Actually fast as a pyroclastic flow and nowhere Near as deadly as your fellow men. It's relevant Hell, if it's any better forget it Get a handkerchief, wet it I remember you said it: Explain the way aims lead to dead ends You can frame the way you think The way you wink at dead men You can think about the lava slippin on down to town You can think about the muthafuckas shaking the ground You can think about them watchin' from the opposite town You can think about the barkin' dogs afraid to drown When they hit it, forbid it, but shit, it glittered in the middle Admit it, you miss it, I miss it, and cities relive it And set it down Ignore the simmering ground, and let it down, down Feel the deities frown, and look around, round Savor seminal sounds While you listen, get the image like the final allowed And when it ends, we ain't got shit left to mend We ain't got nothin that's static But we can always pretend, so let's pretend [Chorus 1] We had letters and and a picnic and a plan and everything And I let you drive cause you look free behind the wheel To put it simply, I ain't got shit to do but dream Now I'm lookin down to remember the trees, like What caught the light--was it needles or leaves? What caught me first with them subtle degrees In the leaves? If you keep me bereaved, I got Seminal moments to uncover what you mean Wish I could tell you that I love it when you speak Come and help me find a presence in your absence Call me up, hear me splashin in some absinthe Wish I could speak about you like bitchin' passage It's been a minute since I balanced on my axis [Verse 2] I celebrate you like I know what's going on, and I got no business tellin' you, help me with my song Crackin' it up cuz I got enemies in my lawn, but Pay attention it goes on and on and on LIft it up to the sky if you got one Sunlight when it's warm mean I lost one Talk some, won't you talk some? Won't you talk to me like it's 2010 and 1 AM? We could stay up for the hell of it When it's 10 we got some urgency, so make it quick So make it stick and limit it; your facade is so paper-thin I perceive that you got personality not fake as shit So why your eyes the vacantest? And when it's 10 you may not say you quit But can't you wish for supersim? We play until the whistle This'll be here when the morning hits But say now wait a minute Explain the way aims lead to dead ends You can frame the way you think The way you wink at dead men And we got visible limits but we can always pretend [Chorus 2] I remember the way that you got away from everything, and you Looked so sorry for the deer beneath the trees, and you Made me coffee with it steaming through the leaves, and you Left the tent undone so I could fake my sleep, and you Walk around so light, don't sound like anything, and you Left the tent undone so I could watch you leave Through the leaves, if you keep me bereaved, I got Seminal moments to uncover what you mean Wish I could tell you that I love it when you speak Come and help me find a presence in your absence Call me up, hear me splashin' in some absinthe Wish I could speak about you like bitchin' passage It's been a minute since I balanced on my axis You should have this, lookin' at it, think it's tragic? But haven't you grasped it? We could suffer, yeah, but we could pull a hat trick [Bridge: Catherine Coffey] Dont walk away, don't walk away Give me a week, a day, an hour, just a night I'll catch up, I'll catch up [Chorus 2] I remember the way that you got away from everything, and you Looked so sorry for the deer beneath the trees, and you Made me coffee with it steaming through the leaves, and you Left the tent undone so I could fake my sleep, and you Walk around so light, don't sound like anything, and you Left the tent undone so I could watch you leave Through the leaves, if you keep me bereaved, I got Seminal moments to uncover what you mean Wish I could tell you that I love it when you speak Come and help me find a presence in your absence Call me up, hear me splashin' in some absinthe Wish I could speak about you like bitchin' passage It's been a minute since I balanced on my axis You should have this, lookin' at it, think it's tragic? But haven't you grasped it? We could suffer, yeah, but we could pull a hat trick
