about

love song I guess

lyrics

When I die I wanna wake up as a painting
Feel like I'd look a little different if you step too close
a heart like the moon stuck waning
the sunken light will never leave you full

I'd paint myself all over and I want to
Told my sister that I would if I just had the nerve
am I stupid? am I terrified I'd haunt you?
Like our mortality was graded on a curve

You slur your speech
when you feel frustrated
as if you adjusted your vocabulary to keep you sedated
as if your intrigue could have never been pre-meditated
and every time you talk to me consider me self medicated
You're either running your mouth
or you're justifying nothing
Well I might not be so good for you
but baby, someday I'll be good for something

So let's hang if you're not busy
lets get drunk in the afternoon
you love dancing until you're dizzy
disappear into your pointilistic moon

And I'll promise I won't worry you
I'm only dying when I want to
I'll return again, whether I can help it or not

brush it off until tomorrow
the blues elusive in the glow
I used to think I'd gotten used to feeling hollow
but lately I don't know

I lost myself inside that painting
You think i'm stuck in there until
You hold your breath like your perspective's changing
But I'm made for you and I promise I never will

*Was just a fan when I wrote this: The most depressing songs are the most uplifting and vice versa. Rex's voice is warm and serves as much an instrument as any in this chaotic masterpiece. Matt Falkowski
