His Phase - Pinback

Everything going by

Conversations liked to falter to the side

Everything ever said opened wide

Every time that you speak I just die

Darkness flows through you

We can’t keep the rain from getting in

Storm will cut through you

We can’t withhold a thing

And then they come up to me with hello and goodbye

As if the challenge to beat was if they could do it by yourself

You rewatch and and return again

Gifting backwards

Tumble into your surprise

Word busting every time

Soon your world and your brain will collide

Hope I won’t be around when you forget to fly

Darkness flows through you

We can’t keep the storm from settling in

We can’t rescue

Hopeless, we can’t do anything to help

And then they come up to me with hello and goodbye

As if the challenge to beat was if they could do it by yourself

One to fix you, one to take you on

One to heal you, one to lead you on
