lyrics

Shaking off a coma coming out of a dream
Rattling tea kettle always capping the steam
Just cool your jets you’re set in stone

Ripping off a bandage from lingering burn
Tightening a stomach with a butteryfly churn
Umbrella snapping storm cylcone

Sudden and startling
Shoots out of the blue
Recurring passing thing
Tearing me from you

Travel back in time
On a borrowed dime
Pay the parking fine for sitting on your hands and signing dotted lines

In and out of state
Twiddle thumbs and wait
Drop a heavy weight and snap the photo finish now, close the gate

How do you stop?
How do you go?
What do you say?
What do you show?

Gonna need some better clues
Panoramic walking shoes
Hands in sockets blow the fuse

Making up a storyline and selling it hard
Taking on a moment to be taken off guard
Just cross your fingers close your eyes

Beginning near finish cause I started to late
Stopping all the traffic while I’m cleaning a slate
A staring contest compromise

Sudden and startling
Shoots out of the blue
Recurring passing thing
Tearing me from you
