the outside

Roll it back one more time for me
Black and white
The moments in between
Like my love affair with the seventies
I live to miss the way things used to be

Flashes of light on the screen
Projected time
It bends downstream
Lost you somewhere at sea

All my women
Hold this body in its healing
Flailing limbs and burning buildings
They rebuild the war-torn city

Pick out the dirt from underneath
It's not about you anymore
I will always be
Headphones and headstones
Crooked bottom teeth

While you label my faith
As something I've erased

When the dust has finally settled
The days end the way they began
I'm sore from losing and sick of choosing
To forget you over and over again

Spark the lighter 'til it's out of gas
Put out the fire lit by my own hand
Exhaust the energy I had set aside
Is this what it feels like
To see yourself from the outside
Is this what it feels like
To see yourself from the outside
