marblemouth - reflections of the tv screen lyrics

i swam out to the middle of long lake, tears upon my cheeks, as you leaned in to kiss the boy you’d left me for, turned and left the beach. and as the first mouthful of water rushed into my lungs. i tasted the rich taste of silt and failure flow across my tongue. and as the growing darkness closed in on me i found myself transported to a memory of a maine winter as cold as the water i swam in, on the backseat of your mother’s ford. and as we moved to touch each other then i felt a growing distance in my bones between me and all my friends. and the gaps in human existence closed in the moment we kissed and then rushed back in to fill the void that opened when you parted your lips to say:

“i think you’re wrong about me. i’m just pictures clipped from magazines and reflections of the tv screen of people who you want me to be.”

so goodbye alecsandra, you’ve gotten what you wanted. a song to prove you meant something, a grave marker that you haunted
