lyrics

Citrus Smell, The Walnut shell
And how you were
Pissed off and listless this time
They say everyone longed for a Saturday
Everyone longs for a try

We were all fragrant and gasoline
Cratered as skin of a lime
Prepped for a pageant at 17
Pansy-ass need not apply

Dontcha know- we’re always faking it?
We’ve all got something to hide.
And everything, and all how it’s breaking,
But everyone wants just to shine

And hold out for something divine.

Slipped on the beads of your rosary
Wanted to see how they glow
You always pray for a rainy day
And I always plan for the snow.

Kept on the drawer in your vanity
Gifted upon your first night
You’re always speaking in homily
While I’m just along for the ride

Dontcha know- everyone’s faking it?
Watching it all from the sides.
And everything, all how it’s made up
by some delicate pre-design

As if it were something divine.

(How long?)
Longer than I had intended to.
(How long?)
Longer than I had intended to.
(How long?)
Longer than I had intended to sing.

Dontcha know- everything’s fake and it’s
Watering down the brine.
And all that I’ve learned from mistakes
is what’s cripplingly hard to define

As if it were all by design.

Saw you out singing at Christmas time,
Voices all gathered below
Altos and Tenors, all unrefined
But you were the only soprano.
