Lyrics Parquet Courts

Parquet Courts

Already Dead

Dead, forgot how long it's been

A dusty trunk where you can find your junk ruined

I'm already dead

Alarm clock in my head

That's just who I am

A broken dial you watch

When you're sleeping in

Torn up beyond repair

I'm laid out threadbare

I'm wash-stained clothes that's filled with holes

That can't be sewn

My thoughts are rocks upstairs

Bones are just mortar for my organs

'Cause I'm already

[female spoken voice:]

Instrumental break

With your eyes open, or your eyes closed

Take a moment to connect with where you are

Feel your feet on the ground

Without looking at anything at all

Just listen

Rest with a sense of hearing

Experience the show of sound

That is happening around you right now

Life in stereo

Allow the instruments into your globe of sound

And when the next part comes along

Let it be there

Without engaging, just listening to the sounds

And wish them well as they pass on through

Dead

My blood's all filled with lead

A crooked leaky cup to keep your pencils in

I'm already dead

A landfill here I said

Really got no place

I'm just some waste compressed

I'm already dead
