we cut corners - muscle memory lyrics
i wait until the sun goes down to leave the house
that way no one has to worry about my why or when or whereabouts
it helps to think of you alone with someone else
i can tap into that righteous anger i’ve denied myself
but at the moment of conception i was barely in the room
i wait for them to come to me on principle
so far n0body has showed up but i’m convinced they will
the unspoken code of broken souls, i’m speaking it
i’m peaking creatively and n0body’s critiquing it
but at thе moment of conception i was barely in thе room
for the first time in what felt like forever
i knew where i needed to be
and i thought i could feel you beside me
but it was only a muscle memory
pray for whatever remains of whoever
told you that time was the enemy
i just thought i could feel you beside me
but it was only a muscle memory
our bodies die a thousand deaths, but the will survives
as i metabolize the mess i’ve made of both our lives
i trawl through taxonomies of cause and consequence
and end up pinning it on white anglo saxon providence
at the moment of conception i was barely in control
for the first time in what felt like forever
i knew where i needed to be
and i thought i could feel you beside me
but it was only a muscle memory
pray for whatever remains of whoever
told you that time was the enemy
i just thought i could feel you beside me
but it was only a muscle memory
