puppit - the motions lyrics

(verse 1)
soaked through by the rain, arms hanging limply at her sides
exchanging in the dark these words as empty as our eyes
“you could just stay the night”, i’m saying simply in reply
then i lean in and close the gap between her lips and mine
you’re always holding back with me, your truth always denied
knee deep in the surf as if to rail against the tide
i’ve come to loathe this carnal god to whom we pay a tithe
i’ll know you as a mate but never take you as a bride
but i, leastways in my summation
was swallowed up all since i got caught in your gravitation
amazed i stood beside you, then hit my knees to praise a golden idol
a girl who hates herself as much as i do
to find you in the reeds i looked not high but low
and sunk to depths that previously i’d declined to go
i stood by and watched you harm yourself, taciturn and raised not a commotion
like it’s nothing babygirl, we just going through the motions

(hook)
anger, shame, girl we just going through motions
razor blades and we just going through the motions
prozac k!lls and they just wanna up the dosage
fine until, cause we just going through the motions
place your blame girl, we just going through the motions
vent your pain baby, we going through the motions
all these pills and they just gonna up the dosage
alive until then

(verse 2)
the streets calm, but the wind: wild like nina simone
only the sound of breath like when we’d fall asleep on the phone
this how a party house feel when all them people is gone?
could probe them feelings more but feel like i should leave it alone
silent all but for these playing cards you see in the spokes
grown but for imagery i have a tendency to invoke
each passing day an augury i failed to read in the smoke
and days of plenty prove no more than dreams from which i’ll have woke
walk down the block in the cold, in search of someone i know
or might’ve known but not for circumstance outside my control
and you ain’t have to be a fly on the wall to see what went on
when the need to always be right left me in the wrong
meant to open up but didn’t mean to bleed on your floor
i still recall the way the carpet was soaked
and how i left, i made a promise to go
and from that day tried my hardest to stay away like you wanted, i was dishonest i know

(hook)

(verse 3)
too long i cast about in search of any port in a storm
hoping for fullness when the moon was only waxing to wane
now i just pray for low tide somewhere the water is warm
knowing contentment is as fleeting as the sun or the rain
and so i plan to move along when theres a break in the clouds
although without you here i’m doomed to lead a life incomplete
mourning your voice most of all til i’ve forgotten the sound
marking the miles and searching daily for a stranger to greet
