Canaries — текст песни (Kind Of Like Spitting)

Make what you can out of nothing
Keep bluffing your way to extinction
You`re a sick fuck to think
That this, unlike anything else, will last forever
Building rock anthems a jigsaw exterior
You see what you miss
But you can`t stand to be near her
It`s bigger than that you realize
But short-sighted impulses own what`s left of your dignity
Tell yourself quietly don`t plow the field yet
You`re waiting to grow some new life from retrospect
You know free agency pays little in the long run
But you just don`t feel likt your legs are that tired yet
Friends and go-betweens
Sing like canaries crushed in leaves
This is the thanks you get
Somewhere that`s sweet
Maybe someday we will meet
And I can thank you without strings
All these befores that get drilled on long after
It`s all just leverage when you`re sure that it`s over
The street goes blurry like a movie that you saw once
Minutes freeze but you can`t collect the corners still
She used to whisper you name like a refrain
And when she held you, you know, you felt safer
But your demons are fucking huge
You stack your deck to lose
You say there`s nothing you can do
Well we all know that you`re lying
Friends and go-betweens
Sing like canaries crushed in leaves
This is the thanks you get
You get what you put in
I guess that`s bullshit in the end
Written under fluorescent lights
That replace the sun at night
