lyrics
INVENTION OF MAKE DO
Plaster a smile
Under uncertain eyes
Believe me, there's nothing to hear
Fingertips flat
Across my own back
You're deaf to the voice that I fear
Dig in those nails
While my mind fails to fail
It will always know what this part was
Quiet alarms
I uncross my arms
Worry will do what it does
A new set of lungs
but no bells will be runCalm your collarbones, kid
Watch your shoulder blades kiss
Keeping cool in the mix
Contain
The grip that it takes to
Convey
My invention of make-do
If wishes were horses
We'd all run our courses
And never be worse for the wear
But beggars can't choose
Another image to lose
When the cowboy leaves tracks in the air
Shades and charades
Old games that we played
Hid nothing I hadn't renounced
Now I'm risking religion
For rocky collisions
For an earthquake to clear the accounts
Subliminal flash
of the losses will pass
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
Plaster a smile
Under uncertain eyes
Believe me, there's nothing to hear
Fingertips flat
Across my own back
You're deaf to the voice that I fear
Dig in those nails
While my mind fails to fail
It will always know what this part was
Quiet alarms
I uncross my arms
Worry will do what it does
A new set of lungs
but no bells will be runCalm your collarbones, kid
Watch your shoulder blades kiss
Keeping cool in the mix
Contain
The grip that it takes to
Convey
My invention of make-do
If wishes were horses
We'd all run our courses
And never be worse for the wear
But beggars can't choose
Another image to lose
When the cowboy leaves tracks in the air
Shades and charades
Old games that we played
Hid nothing I hadn't renounced
Now I'm risking religion
For rocky collisions
For an earthquake to clear the accounts
Subliminal flash
of the losses will pass
