"Blunt Force And Bomb Dog" lyrics

What I say, what I've said to you
Is a shock to me, 'cause it's shining new
The clock gets tired, and the city blue
But they're not the ones dragging me down like they used to

You stood on the inside of your foot
And thought you maybe could
Imagine what I'd say to you
No good, a snap, a wooden cue
You had this look to you
Like someone who liked to know

What I'd say to anyone
What I'd say to anyone
What I'd
What I'd say to anyone
What I'd say to anyone
What I'd

What I say, what I've said to you
Is a shock to me, 'cause it's shining new
The clock gets tired, and the city blue
But they're not the ones dragging me down like they used to
What's this pain like a pillowed edge?
Like a quick-spread stain, is it me who bled?
And every chain, every word I've said
Why's it every start hurts just like an end?

A year, they sink a rusted pier
I stare into the green
Of Jersey when it looks gray
Okay, is that what time becomes?
Can stack it on my thumb
So easy to wipe away

What I'd say to anyone
What I'd say to anyone
What I'd
What I'd say to anyone
What I'd say to anyone
What I'd

What I say, what I've said to you
Is a shock to me, 'cause it's shining new
The clock gets tired, and the city blue
But they're not the ones dragging me down like they used to
What's this pain like a pillowed edge?
Like a quick-spread stain, is it me who bled?
And every chain, every word I've said
Why's it every start hurts just like an end?

It feels like a head wound when you utter "quiet"
My whole life's so fine tuned
Siphoning life from the wrong place
To hold and be held in the silence
To lie in its wake is a new kind of violence
'Cause you are a blunt force, so flawlessly made
To bruise me with kindness and drown me with praise
And I am the bomb dog, especially trained
To look for explosions on beautiful days
