lyrics

I was wet cement, but I set up much too quickly
For you to write your name in me
Alongside dirty words and footprints
But if you wonder where I went, I have been all over this city
Inkstained but still doing pretty
Full of five-dollar words and misprints, hey hey

Give it up for the tightrope
For the slight hope of a soft and graceful landing
Understanding that I won’t be there to catch you
When you fall from high above
The cold hard ground that you mistook for love
Or waiting on the other side
I just took the ladder down

The scaffolding that fell apart had been unstable from the start
It sent all my finer feelings running for their lives
Because there couldn’t be a lower art
The arrow points outside the heart
To where the hipster literati
Are getting out their forks and knives already

But get out on the tightrope
On the slight hope of a soft and graceful landing
Understanding that I won’t be there to catch you
When you fall from high above
The cold hard ground that you mistook for love
Or waiting on the other side
I just took the ladder down

Look out below
