Deadlines

«We were supposed to-»
Yeah, I recall
I’m sorry, babe, I just got the call
It turns my stomach to disappoint you
I know the trouble that you must go to
It’s from a place you can barely imagine
Far from the crowd and the ambulances
At my best, I have almost been there
Let me pretend that I know the way there
Here are words
But they all
Taste like shit
And none of them make sense
And none of them sit, sit still
I don’t even know if it’ll be a single
I got no idea how it’ll play on vinyl
I, I keep on working and I don’t mind
But if I see you tonight, I might break down crying
Let me pretend that I’m in it deep
Let the right note hit me when I’m gettin' to sleep
(Oh, that’s good, that’s- that’s so good, that’s great)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't stay connected)
(Can't get connected)
I’m trading in my mind
Or breaking my deadlines
(Can't get connected)
This time, I’ll try to get it right
(Can't get connected)
It’s from a place that you can’t imagine
Saw it in silence but the silence vanished
You lose your face in someone else’s mouth
Big boss tells you what it’s all about
Cast it to the floor
Open up your eyes
Everything up to here has been a hollow lie
I can’t believe I’m starting over again
Wind up your fist and punch me in again
Elements are rising, switch on the heat
Is there anywhere else, anyone left to meet?
Frozen on the floor, all you hear is rain
When you hear me talking, you’ll remember my name
And I got nothing polite to say
(Can't get connected)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't stay connected)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't get connected)
I’m trading in my mind
I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry
Big boss, what was your name?
(Can't get connected)
This time, I’ll try to get it
(Can't get connected)
I’ll try to get it right
(Can't stay connected)
(Can't get connected)
Or breaking my deadlines
I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry
I’ve lost this time
I’ll try to get it
(Can't get connected)
I’ll try to get it
(Can't get connected)
I’ll try to get it right
(Can't get connected)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't stay connected)
(Can't get connected)
(Can't get connected)
(I'm breaking my deadlines)
(Can't get connected)
