lyrics

JON:
Who wants a waltz about pigeons and doves
Pyramid builders and pockets of mud
And the blood it goes slow, it goes slow
Through a mind full of bitterness

Muscling for meaning in top-heavy piles
I was cruel as the fuel in the engines of style
While the bones, they grew tight, they grew tall
‘Round a mind full of bitterness

My mind’s in a bit of a bind
Lara goes out in the rain
And plays like a bird in a bitter wind

One, two, now you’re out of the blue
Lara don’t rattle my chains
It’s a curse and it kills to consider it

And you know it’s just down, it’s just smoke
Blowing ‘round in a bitter wind
And the kids don’t get tickled or choked
If you ever get out

My mind’s in a bit of a bind
Lara goes out in the rain
And plays like a bird in a bitter wind

One, two, now you’re out of the blue
Lara don’t rattle my chains
It’s a curse and it kills to consider it

No Name, taken out of the game
Drools in our Gemini heart
She’s a part and we’ll never be rid of it

Cold chrome under feathers and foam
Tendrils reach out from the moon
It’s a curse and it kills to consider it

* * *

JON:
I watched my father on storefront TVs
Asking me what I was trying to be
“Carve out a niche or collect in the ditch
‘Cause it’s nothing but ego and madness between”

I looked up to the towers, majestic and mean
Felt my sister collapse in the absence beneath
Thought of my momma and then Viviana
And gave her the words I was needing for me

Life has no love for you
Yeah, well I do, I do
Time has no plans for you
Yeah, well I do, I do

I can’t see anything
I hear the birds sing, a few
I won’t say anything
No more sad songs for you

Oh love
Pigeons and doves are not the same bird
