lyrics

Something sticky’s coming down under the chin and up again
Something’s breaking all the time
He’s apologetic but he doesn’t mean it when he says
That he’ll do better next time

Something underneath the Earth is always rubbing against itself
Something in the crust is thick
She is tired of the fantasies in which she cuts him down
She is fed up, she is sick

She looks at him like he can make it better, but she knows that look is wrong
She knew that all along
He looks like a winner, but he tastes like disappointment
She blames herself when he turns to her for help
When he throws her on the ground, when she’s scared to make a sound
It all happens when he drinks and she’s around

Something ugly is a smear upon his face shaped like a smile
Something needs to clean it up
He’s been drunk since he was seventeen and stupid for a while
Something needs to beat him up

He looks at himself like he is a god but when he hears his voice he stops
He realizes he’s not
She looks at him and notices his underwhelming qualities again
She don’t want to pretend that he’s healthy to her life, so she makes a point to try
For a while, he’ll be floating, getting by

His intricate finger-picking and soaring hypnotizing vocals were undeniable, reverberating throughout the hushed room.” - KEXP Blog
