alibis. (feat. Mani Bazaar)

I represent myself in court because I know I lied
I am the reason you'll be leaving here a token bride
So count your dollars and come kiss me at the county line
Forget your feelings I believe that you will say it right
There is a lonely person waiting on the other side
I found him naked on the floor of all my alibis.

Aahh

You take a stab and then dramatically you draw the line
Between the man you know and someone less desensitised
To having reasons they believe they're still in love with you
These are the feelings left behind from something overdue

Like I needed a reason to let it out.

A broken chest is handled best from somewhere out of view
A broken promise is the light upon the avenue
Of people waiting on their pension paid in ones and twos
They see no reason to be stealing from the likes of you

Aahh

Like I needed a reason to let it out.

We speak the language of the lucid and romantic few
Whose view on everything's obscured and left to convelute
As lovers left to die invisible to naked eyes
And as we're yearning we are learning to be satisfied.
