Such Confidence - Pianos Become The Teeth

Just sit down, and let it be, if only today, if only for me

That day, what exactly were you selling, preach?

It’s misery, these screaming dreams, you see, we all gotta get so broken

eventually

And most shouldn’t strut around with such confidence

Because most of the time, your feet are the same whether he’s there or not

And most of the time, my feet were the same whether you were here or not

And I take it hard, I take it to heart, and it tears me apart

And I get so tired in that 3 o’clock sun

It grows right on time, right in front of me

I’ve seen some days, and in some ways, I’m always in and out of living in the

now

But it sheds years when you still smell the cedar

Explain to me

I wish I could find a god’s teeth to grit them for him

I’d cut off his ears, put them to my heart, he’d hear me break

I’d make it obvious to see

Show him a face like water frozen over

A face that’s absorbed everything

Show him it was the wrong day

Show him that I’ve seen my reach

Explain to me

Just sit down, let it be, if only today, if only for me

I’ve tried to forget what was said after the fact

I’m talking to my own soul

I bottle these potent thoughts

I’m not obtuse anymore

I’m not talking to anyone

I’m not a door anymore

Explain to me

Honestly, I don’t know if I’d believe if you walked right on time,

right in front of me
