At Breakneck Speed

Prop me up
And keep just one hand talking
While the other slips underneath
Steals inches from me

All the lights
Seem to dim on command
Lifting oxygen from eyelids

Calm yourself
Deep breaths
Quarter rest
Fill the lungs up in your chest
Careful not to strain
The sound waves you'll save
Just might be that
Of your own voice breaking
Sounding out the words
Slipping over teeth and out through tongue

Slip down
White knuckle the chair
Bring your eyes back to earth
Or whichever one comes first
Don't leave yourself
Hanging back
Right now
Feels as if it never happened
Why is my face all red?
Why are my clothes all wet?

All the attractions
All the rejection
And I still feel dumb

Blink me in
Or blink me out
You got such a great disguise
You hide yourself
On the inside
Clinging to the side of my mind
Where they'll never look to find you
Never look to see
Just what's inside of me

Running out towards the giant lime light streat light
Bending your knees, just to see
Seaching, searching
Can you hear me when I say these things?
'Cause you act like that's what to ignore
Or stay hidden underneath or out of reach
Like your bright blue eyes talking in and out
Or like katherine grazing your lips
Katherine grazing your lips
Just shut up and kiss me

Slip down
White knuckle the chair
Bring your eyes back to earth
Or whichever one comes first
Don't leave yourself
Hanging back
Right now
Feels as if it never happened
Why is my face all red?
Why are my clothes all wet?

All the attractions
All the rejection
And I still feel dumb

Running out east of here
Quoting non but fools
Quoting out every breath
Seeping in from somwhere
East of here
East of everywhere
The silence is unbareable
We hold our breath and sink our ships
