Kevin Devine, ‘No Time Flat’
I’ve posted this before, but it’s my favourite song. In case you were wondering.
your skin’s in my mouth,
but i’m thinking about thousands of things
that don’t got your name.
so i’m distant and weird.
we stop and you’re all ears,
but how can i say
i’ve just been thinking that it’s harder every year
to find excuses that’ll keep me in the clear,
the arbitrary lines i impress in the sand
the proof the power’s in my trashcan.
while the skin on my hands is looking older every day,
the lies i’ve told have turned to leather on my face,
the love i’ve lost has turned to needles in my heart,
but i’m to blame for all the bad parts;
they’re the choices i’ve made, hey hey.
