Babe can’t you see I’m beaming
Under my brow?
And I know your time is fleeting
So imma show my power
Any morning
Hit record and
Try to make you stay
You may leave but
Best believe I’m
Gonna feel the same
Growing older
Eyes will smoulder
Hotter every day
Shared the fate of
Earth’s equator
Under brighter rays
Only crying from smiling too much in your wake
Probably look like a clown on the stand, shall we say?
Been writing some marmalade, low on the bread
With egg on my face and you out of my bed
Any morning
Hit record and
Try to make you stay
You may leave but
Best believe I’m
Gonna feel the same
Growing older
Eyes will smoulder
Hotter every day
Shared the fate of
Earth’s equator
Under brighter rays
Just one more thing
Called you gorgeous
Take this to the bank
Disbelieving
I’ll repeat it
Kiss my baby face
Growing older
Eyes will smoulder
Hotter every day
Shared the fate of
Earth’s equator
Under brighter rays

Through a colonnade of close shaves
Slept through tomorrow
And I’m calling out now just like you wanted
Earn the remains of the past five days at the altar of no occasion
No NDA’s above my pay grade, so I’ll say
That we don’t choose it, it chooses us
Not how you lose it but who can you trust
How did they manage without you before?
Cold diamond fires on the factory floor
Struck a match
For the praxis
Repay them all in ashes
Dispatch with
Your hood
Dealing with dangerous goods
Before the sound of the silent alarm
I could believe in the product
Until you saw them out of the store
And wonder why did you want it?
Thought better in
The unfortunate light
Of the PIN pad
Unsettling, acetylene burning
The interest
But we don’t choose it, it chooses us
Not how you lose it but who can you trust
How did they manage without you before?
Cold diamond fires on the factory floor
Struck a match
For the praxis
Repay them all in ashes
Dispatch with
Your hood
Dealing with dangerous goods

You’re off of your knees and out of thin air
Been trying your hand as a company man
Decided to ride this as far as it goes
It’s only the strangest failing sideways I’ve ever known
These things take time
It’s always the weekend now I don’t care
They got through your head, you’re a company man
Up the elevator, the customer’s right
The pillars of culture hold my dreams up every night

Perfect Reminder

Unlike another night another daydream
Escorting you about
When I feel unsound
Or even out of bounds
Just as another song, another may seem
Ineffectual as an out
I’ve been numb to now
And head in a cloud
You’re the perfect reminder and all I oughta know
You’re the perfect reminder I’ll learn to let it go
It’s a fight I can’t win, and I’d rather forget them
You’re the perfect reminder I’m coming into my own
You look to me hopeful
Five O’clock shadow
We’ll hijack a moment
Rosemary heist
No escalation
Met at the plateau
It’s you and I only
In my right mind
You’re the perfect reminder and all I oughta know
You’re the perfect reminder I’ll learn to let it go
It’s a fight I can’t win, when I’d rather forget them
You’re the perfect reminder I’m coming into my own
