lyrics

Roads like mirrors
Sculpted paths less clear
Can we make them make us home
Cut corners off your best time

The pavements gone
Every block's too long
Sometimes we have to stop to let it go
Just to survive out on these
Residential roads

Your gut is out, has it all been staged
Nothing's as real as the way it's breaking
Can I stretch so thin, that I'm clear as ice
Hanging in the window at least I look nice

Directions crushed, into the sidewalk where fresh dust scatters
If we leave before it warms up we can make them out
But they don't lead us
Just look pretty and self assured
Until we come home and we see any of
The directions that we marveled at
Just to survive out on these
Residential roads

Your gut is out, has it all been staged
Nothing's as real as the way it's breaking
Can I stretch so thin, that I'm clear as ice
Hanging in the window at least I look nice

On the last street before my own
As dark again as when I left
I just want to be done shaking
I want to feel a looser grip
I want my mornings to offer
A warmth they haven't in a while
I want to be still with them
Until they brighten
Until they brighten
Until they brighten
Until they brighten
Until they brighten

Your gut is out, has it all been staged
Nothing's as real as the way it's breaking
Can I stretch so thin, that I'm clear as ice
Hanging in the window at least I look nice
