Your Fake Name Is Good Enough For Me

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Your fake watch is in your broken hand

Barely keeping time

Barefoot in the city and your phone is ringing

Met you watching all the happy kids

Climbing on a car

They were singing something

Maybe they were singing:

"become the weeds, we will become

Become the sea, we will become"

Your fake money gave you everything

Left along the road

You're cursing by the furnace and your phone is ringing

Met you watching all the happy kids

Clapping in the cold

They were singing something

Maybe they were singing:

"become the weeds, we will become

Become the sea, we will become"

Your fake name is not for everyone

But good enough for me

Forgotten by the garden and your phone is ringing

Met you watching all the happy kids

Kiss each other clean

They were singing something

Maybe they were singing:

"become the weeds, we will become

Become the sea, we will become"

Become the rising sun

We will become, become

Become the damage done

We will become, become

Become the river sway

We will become, become

Become the love we made

We will become, become

Become the endless chain

We will become, become

Become forgotten name

We will become, become

Become sinner and the saint

We will become, become

Become bandage and the blade

We will become, become

Become word and the breath

We will become, become

Become the card and the chest

We will become, become

Become the liked and the loathed

We will become, become

Become the bruise and the blow

We will become, become

Become the fruit and the fall

We will become, become

Become the caress and the claw

We will become, become

Become glory and the guilt

We will become, become

Become the blossom and the wilt

We will become, become

Become both right and wrong

We will become, become

Become the sound and the song

We will become, become

Become tooth and the tongue

We will become, become

Become the target and the gun

We will become, become

Become so cruel and kind

We will become, become

Become the weary and the wild

We will become, become

Become allegiance and doubt

We will become, become

Become the whisper and the shout

We will become, become

Become the honest and the veiled

We will become, become

Become the hammer and the nail

We will become, become

Become the blessing and the curse

We will become, become

Become but it could be worse,

We will become, become

Become the blood and the bone

We will become, become

Become an ice cream cone

We will become, become

Become the way and the wall

We will become, become

Become a disco ball

We will become, become

Become both now and then

We will become, become

Become again and again

We will become, become
