Close Knit
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.
How you've got it down, solid as firebrick
Talk me all around, nothing or no one's problem you can't fix
The tunnel vision sets and straight ahead has never looked this clear
Grab the baseball bat, we're knocking loose the teeth of another year
If not a keeper, then re-build it
Dreams, for sleepers die in the blankets
Change games or refuse to play?
Can you fill out lines without the page?
True and scared aren't the same
Change games or refuse to play?
Can you fill out lines without the page?
True and scared aren't the same
Play the waiting game, you against your circumstance
Scavenge up the blame, piss poor exercise or its loser's chance
You can hate the rain easy enough from a cardboard stage
Working up complaints with nails, wood, hammers all at arm's length
Fuck whatever and just passing, will you settle on a loose fastening?
If not for keeps then what's it for? at least i'm happy over poor
If it's not a keeper than re-build it
Dreams, for sleepers, die in the blankets
(oh!) change games or refuse to play?
Can you fill out lines without the page?
True and scared aren't the same
Change games or refuse to play?
Can you fill out lines without the page?
True and scared aren't the same
All you'll ever be is who you think you are
Throwing bottles like you've never seen the wall
Are you saving it for a willing world?
All you'll ever be is who you think you are
Are you saving it for a willing world?
From close knit to seam rip, from upswing to fuck it all
Fuck it all
Can you change the game or refuse to play?
Can you fill out lines without the page?
'cuz true and scared, they're never quite the same
The same
'cuz true and scared, they're never quite the same
Can you change the game or refuse to play?
Can you fill out lines without the page?
'cuz true and scared, they're never quite the same
Close knit to seam rip, from upswing to fuck it all
Close knit to seam rip, from upswing
To fuck it all
