Parallel Lines Lyrics



If you found the words, would you really say them?

Or silent through the verse,

Will mumble punctuation?

Remembering the line, an empty metaphor

That you savor by yourself

Your never cure

If I forgot the lines, is it easy enough to fake it?

Or do you need a moment to rememorize

And model it like a curse half disguised?



Leers, cheers, whispers and tears

The final taste before you're taken away

Odds, ends, final amends

It's all right to say it

Just as long as you don't really think so



Give me a little room

To get on with concentration

Just enough to know

What I'm missing in education

Borrowing all the hours that you gave to me to

It's a wonder I could ever breathe

Under all our thoughts

We'll hear the final answer

Of all the things you are that have been paralleled

All the voices that were raised and finally fell



Leers, cheers, whispers and tears

The final taste before you're taken away

Odds, ends, final amends

It's all right to say it

Just as long as you don't really think so



Lights

No show

No sex

That's all you get

No wait

No calls

No remittance for what you know



Leers, cheers, whispers and tears

The final taste before you're taken away

Odds, ends, final amends

It's all right to say it

Just as long as you don't really think so
