See You In Vancouver

La Dispute - Vancouver

I'm reading over your shoulder

It says it in every line

In every curve and crack

It says it in every detail of your face

Unmistakably apparent in this dull light

Tracing a separate letter and forming a separate word

Twisting together

To build the same beautiful sentence

The same painful realization

The cracks in your lips

Open with the book

And the smile shows the lines in your face

Perfectly crooked

And perfectly familiar

The cracks in your lips

Open with the book

And the smile shows the lines in your face

Perfectly crooked

And perfectly familiar

And by the moment

Uncovered like a statue

Lay perfectly still

To show the cracks in your lips

Give purpose to this pattern and start to smile

Burst into flames

disappear

Before your best intentions

Can no longer hide her ears

From that which will make them bleed

Or your own two hands become too weak

To hold the blood inside the wounds

Or reality explodes before you

In a brilliant flash of spectral fire

To a thousand fragments of a past

Long dead and gone

This is remembering the last time we touched

The last time we spoke

Words ricocheting off empty tables

Vandalizing the pictures on these smoke-stained walls

And I can feel your mouth

As it opens from across the room

Your tongue and lips

forming the shape of your laughter

It's the curve of your stomach

it's the bend in your legs

It's the remnants of pages framed in the cracks of your bleeding lips

It's the curve of your stomach

it's the bend in your legs

Your crooked teeth

Oh

your crooked teeth

your crooked teeth

Oh

your crooked teeth

your crooked teeth

Oh

your crooked teeth

your crooked teeth

I'm reading over your shoulder

It says it in every line

In every curve and crack

The same stupid message in every stupid bend

In every stupid stitch

In every inch of our peeling skin

It's tracing the letters in the same sentence

It's screaming the same stupid thing

Like the howling of a plane

Playing over and over and over and over and over

And over and over and over and over and over…;
