Akimbo / Phase

What dreams cause me

To abandon my pillow each night?

Push away each of them, in fact

Since there always seem to be more than one

Then wake to aching stiff neck twisted

Tits and face smashed against the mattress

Legs and arms akimbo

Like the high pitched body of a jumper

Waiting for her chalk outline

Finally at rest

I'll be your biggest fan, I will be your fool

I'll be your exception to every rule

And I ain't the type to bitch

I ain't the type to cry

I'll sit at your red light

and wait for your ship to go by

And this vague little smile is my all-purpose expression

the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion

Yeah my distraction is my defense against this lack of inspiration

against this slowly deflation

yeah the further the horizon you know the more it warps my gaze

the foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's

just a phase, just a phase

just a phase, just a phase

just a phase, just a phase

just a phase

I've been through and through this, I know just how it goes

you'll have no idea, you'll have no need to know

I will make your body grow wings and take flight

I will erase sound, I will erase light

I said this vague little smile is my all-purpose expression

the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion

Yes my distraction is my defense against this lack of inspiration

against this slowly deflation

yeah the further the horizon the more it warps my gaze

and the foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's

just a phase, just a phase

just a phase, just a phase

just a phase, just a phase

just a phase
