lyrics

carrying jars of teeth through a corridor lit with filtered light - the storm door's bolted - and the vault's padlocked shut - my luggage stolen by ancient bandits after skulls and pebbles - a collection of fossils deposited at the bottom of a stream bed - department stores and dinosaurs - schematics that i left on my work bench

i lost it, then picked it back up and put it in my pocket - all my dogs have human names - i finally think i've lost it - all my cats have butler names and when i see your face my eye color changes - now, it's not all the same - i'll touch anything you touch - i'll follow you places

i thought i didn't like you, but really i just don't want to be around you - harsh in critics eyes - more fragrant than it sounded - hard to cut so many ties when your habit's to double-knot them - trying not to type these lines because the loss of data's costly - and i'm standing on a mountain of mines - and i can see the earth curving in front of me

you're the surest - everything you say is so certain - look at those curtains - pull them on back to see if it's worth it - sitting in church in my dreams when the preacher addresses me - he says, leave me be - go out and see what you see
