lyrics

Eyed down the mark
Ink tattooed deep in the rug
Steam clean the spot
Red on white doesn’t come out
Milk heated up
Bagged blue ice covered in cloth melted
Soggy broth – drip into a bucket
Filled the line up the top

Soaked up by the sun
On a scale weighed an even sixteen ounces
A speckle to a pond
But enough to make an insect drown

Memorize the oath with marbles under your tongue
Lift your right arm
Spew a silly paragraph while your voice stays monotone
Bath heated up
Wash away the memory of a one-sided love
Step in a sauna’s fog
Ring out into a bucket, filled a line up to the top

Soaked up by the sun
On a scale weighed an even sixteen ounces
A speckle to a pond
But enough to make an insect drown


Tell your friends that you love them
Because when it pours, they’re your lifeguard
A glass of liquid courage always makes it seem less foolish
Make peace with the enemy because you may need their help one day
A bridge that’s burning is a faulty means of transportation
Listen to a song just to listen
And when that fails, pay attention
Because you may hear a line that’s similar with your situation
Take a hint from a friend’s voice
Sometimes big as a billboard
Cuz your tin ear could be as deadly as a dagger

Soaked up by the sun
On a scale weighed an even sixteen ounces
A speckle to a pond
But enough to make an insect drown
