Platitudes

from Exorcism by Ryan M. Brewer

/

lyrics

"When it starts that way, it'll end that way too."
"You can't polish a turd or turn a whore into a housewife who's going to love you.
When a young man tries, the only thing he'll get is old."
"It makes the days seems short, but when the light goes - that's when the night grows long and cold."

I've been around the block a few times... watched the hands float 'round the clock a few times.
I've been beat down, I've been dragged around this town.
But what goes around must come around...

Honey, I'm around you now.
Honey, I'm around you now - wrapped around your finger safe and sound.
Honey, I'm around you now.

"When it ends that way, it'll leave you gunshy."
"You can't stop the world from turning." "You can't stop the fire from burning...
so dip the wick in, boy, and let it burn bright white!"

I've been around the block a few times... watched the hands float 'round the clock a few times.
I've been beat down, I've been dragged around this town.
But what goes around must come around...

Honey, I'm around you now.
Honey, I'm around you now - wrapped around your finger safe and sound.
Honey, I'm around you now.

I remember the way I felt. Like, in a moment, my umwelt was burnt to the floor.
I went from svelt to svelter. I was living helter-skelter. I could have sworn I felt her when I awoke in the middle of the night.
But she was nowhere to be found when I needed help making sense of the strange, strange sounds. She was never around.

Honey, I'm around you now.
Honey, I'm around you now - wrapped around your finger safe and sound.
Honey, I'm around you now.
Honey, I'm around you now.
Honey, I'm around you now - wrapped around your finger safe and sound.
Honey, I'm around you now.
