liance - kz earthquake tremor lyrics

[verse 1]
may 2015
woke up thinking that i was trembling
but then i saw the mirrors and pictures on the wall were shaking
on the bus i saw two middle-aged guys hit on a high school girl
and i left in a kind of rage that i didn’t do more
if our stalkers met each other, would they fall in love?
it’ll always be these warm humid nights i’ll remember
when the sun sets at nine and the kids smoke on their porches
faces lit up orange and blue with their cigs and phones

last month the plumbing got broken so i went to yesterdog to pee
slept on katie’s sofa, cos the house was full of dirt for a week
there’re rats crawling in the basement, now there’s shit floating there as well
but rent’s real cheap and i’ll still be living here in the fall

spent three days in the rat house, sleeping til the afternoon
only went out to see care play their release show at the powder room
hit my head hard on the counter when i thought i heard your voice
maybe i’ll see you at barnes and n-ble, maybe at family fare
in the frozen foods section suddenly find myself gasping for air
your tweets still cause me anxiety, there’re no safe spaces in these streets

if i could open my mind to the world like film to camera lens
i’d open it up and let everything pour in
my great-grandfather died in a darkroom
so i mail my film to a lab on the west coast
it’s may 2015, and all the tremors are my own
there’s no witness to my life and i’m not in love
sometimes i see two divergent paths, but usually i see none

[verse 2]
isabelle, died in her mother’s car, in the morning
her father drove down these country roads, looking for her
the longest night of his entire life, i wish it ended differently
in the morning you were cherry red and golden
in the morning you were eternally eighteen
i gave your father a painting of a koi fish
he ran downstairs and they cried in the pantry

[verse 3]
senior year of high school i took a trip to cambodia
on the bus from phnom pehn, gerri put their head on my shoulder
and i was devoted from the start: we listened to my ipod in the dark
on the k!lling fields i rubbed the ground with my shoe, and underneath the dirt i found a child’s tooth
at siem reap an old american played cl-ssic rock covers at the bar
to an audience of one: he was the happiest guy i’d ever seen
