lyrics

Take it as it comes
The orchestra is set up downstairs
There isn’t anyone watching down below
And you can see it all
From your perch in the projector room
See the film’s distortions as it slows
Every moment where you stood stunned
Where the officials raised there guns
You only get them once before they go
Can I move it back, are all these faces really gone
Should I even ask, these reels are spinning on and on
I’ve been feeling nothing, so wrap me up around your knees
I’ve been looking for some comfort in this world that’s escaping me
I’ve been riding these bannisters for weeks
I’ve been chasing you through the dirty sheets
I’ve been waiting for the lights to go out on me
There’s no need for actors
Or tickets at the start of the show
The marquee will remain unchanged as it glows
They’ll bring up the spot
And then bring down the snow
Every fear will take the stage, and then disrobe
And your teeth will find each other
And stay locked in a rigid row
The music starts so softly, but it grows
Can I move it back, are all these faces really gone
Should I even ask, these reels are spinning on and on
I’ve been feeling nothing, so wrap me up around your knees

I’ve been looking for some comfort in this world that’s escaping me
I’ve been riding these bannisters for weeks
I’ve been chasing you through the dirty sheets
I’ve been waiting for a quiet time to leave
I’ve been waiting for the lights to go out on me
I can’t wait

In August 2018, the band announced that Alex Koshak would be stepping in on drums as they headed into the studio to record their next album. The band’s name is a nod to Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”: “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. ... more
