Kevin Devine - A Flatline Blur Lyrics
My friends are working on avoiding meSo when we meet I keep my mouth real busyTalk out my nervous energyIt never worksI throw darts at the wall and get sloppyBut it's alright nowIf I seem surprised, it's just a joke I'm trying outBut if it floats, I guess I'll keep it aroundA woman gestures lazilyThrough the hoods in my eyes I see her shaking her jewelryIt casts a perfect light on meI feel moved and that's strangeBut lately, I've been acting really strangelySo it's alright nowI'm keeping distracted to blunt my reactionsAnd anyhowYou think less when there's less for you to think aboutA paralyzed puppet sits stiff in the windowGrinding his teeth and playing pianoAll his songs bleed together in a flatline blurA broken litany of worthless wordsCreating space while your drinks get servedI know it gets on your nervesJust try to pretend like it's not workA little denial never hurts
