I'm Not the Circuit, You Are

from Visitors by Tape Hiss and Sparkle

/

lyrics

the streets here are a maze at night
darkness moves through season to season
keep breathing
i move your lips to form some words
apologise
please believe me
believe me
asphalt grit and power lines
try and take in all you've been seeing
we're changing

but every word I spoke to mend this
every hand put out to fix this
just made it even worse
dug up from the earth purposeless

wide eyed you say
your love is pure
light-finder you aren't anymore
white for your dress
brown for your door
green for your eyes
that don't see anymore
i'm not the circuit you are

the prince of cursing and black bags
lives and sleeps outside that window
screams at who knows
our dreams here are a mess at night
some people think they are evil
ghosts and demons

but every word i spoke to mend you
every hand put out to fix you
made it even worse
purposeless and cursed from sour earth
