lyrics

Dirty Sleeves

Verse:

News doesn't carry weight 'til you know the names involved,
making cracks right down the gates of unfazed, uninvolved predilections.

Keep it all at arms' length, just to hide these dirty sleeves.
Make it right, you can't make it right if you tried. No you tried and you know it well.

Chorus:

All the while your words are wasted
I can see your face is painted on.

Verse:

Tired of the streetlights going out right when I pass by underneath.
Walk's hard enough to discern, this seems just like a cruel mockery

Talk like there's nothing up, and we'll do just as we please.
Float like it's all a dream but there's a solemn misery on the floor here.
