lyrics

talk a lot about whatever you want chalk it up to reaffirming grins
nod off in a parked car underground rest in disbelief
eat up from the taco truck drink pop to wash it down
shove your day to the back of your brain make room to fill it up again.

when the jackhammer sounds reverberate throughout the walls the whole mall shuts up and when the ambulance goes racing down the block and every car just stops i dare you to talk
please shut up.

put me in a room without walls and watch my back rise to twice its size
plant me in a minivan with an FM radio and watch me weave around the suckers on the road
am i so sinful to keep to myself?
when the clouds roll in and i peace out.

two weeks to notice how
i didn't notice how anybody else felt
Last Call written on the wall
last call for a steady job

didn't listen when i heard my name
didn't do a damn thing they said
shook my head before i walked away
turned around so i could see their faces

looked back to see their faces break
but they smiled instead
said "come back again."

by The Unending Thread

Mathy, yet smooth. I dig the dual vocals and hope you do too. Cesar from TUT is a buddy of ours who we have played several shows together with in LA! They're a lot of fun. birdluck
