A Flatline Blur Songtext

von Kevin Devine

My friends are working on avoidnig me
So when we eet I keep my mouth real busy
Talk out my nervous energy
It never works
I throw darts at the wall and get sloopy

But it's allright now
If I seem surprised, it's just a joke i'm trying out
But if it floats, I guess i'll keep it around

A woman gestures lazily
Through the hoods on my eyes I see her shaking her jewelry
It casts a perfect light on me
I feel moved and that's strange
But lately, i've been acting really strangely
So it's allright now
I'm keeping distracted to blunt my reactions and anyhow
You think less when there's less for you to think about

A paralyzed puppet sits stiff in the window
Grinding his teeth and playing piano
All his songs bleed together in a flatline blur
A broken litany of worthless words
Creating space while your drinks get served
I know it gets on your nerves
Just try to pretend like it's not work

A little denial never hurts
