Make it Later

"Make it Later"

Bogosian: vocals

Oeffling: guitars, mandolin, bass, piano, organ, keyboards, drums, drum programming, shakers, tambourine, claps, vocals

Small stakes when we first met

Gave your priest a nudge for the art of presence

The stars in my eyes don't align
Was it worth it to stare at the ground?

I'd sink if I could swim

And you've signaled enough with your brake check

No thoughts in my eyes left behind

Saved up to say it out loud

Held out for a half chance

But no word from your mouth makes me make sense

My veins turn to ice, blue train lines

As I walk past the camera unfound

Said you're getting good at drugs when we last spoke

But you'd never take the rocks from your last one

And I know I've got unrest to a fault

But I can't believe you're not in a coma

Are you down for all their shit?

You've been hanging around for far too long
At the ends of bars, making eye contact

With some shrouded man who looks fit to

Mow your lawn someday

Because I'm done waiting around for your post-one bridge

Everyone takes what they want if you've pictured it

Make it later

III

Every song is your drinking song

And your only requirement is that it is on

Every step in the shortcut's wrong

Threw my jacket on puddles in the ground

You're looking at me like lemmings you've unlearned

Laden with oils and covered in crumbs

Please know I'm sorry about the state of our kitchen

I hope you don't mind

Small stakes when we first met?

You've got a lot of nerve saying that

Still, it's not where I left it

Misaligned all the time

Worked up to stare at the ground

You're looking at me like pennies on the floor

Picked up the tab and went home in a hurry

Please know I'm sorry about the state of our something

I hope you don't mind

It takes too much time

To scurry upstairs and find everyone worried about

How they're talking too loud

The neighbors don't mind
