Sprig - Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton

Fresh, fresh when sleeping meant

Every other night

Falling asleep for the fifth time

Early in the morning

Falling asleep for the fifth time

Early in the morning

Awake in terror

Words staring back at him

Never to be used

Their hands on hold

So quiet, they could hear

Each other’s thinking, denying

Garner interest

Each other’s thinking, denying

Garner interest

Making of life, a forged painting

Life’s big magnet tug, tugging

Making of life, a forged painting

Life’s big magnet tug, tugging

And listeners like you

And listeners like you

And listeners like you

And listeners like you
