A Flatline Blur Lyrics - Singles - Kevin Devine

My friends are working on avoiding me 

So when we meet I keep my mouth real busy 

Talk out my nervous energy 

It never works, I throw darts at the wall and get sloppy 

But it's alright now 

If I seem surprised 

It's just a joke I'm trying out 

But if it floats, I guess we keep it around 

A woman gestures lazily 

Through the hoods on my eyes 

I see her shaking her jewelry 

It casts a perfect light on me 

I feel moved and that's strange 

But lately, I've been acting really strangely 

So it's alright now 

I'm keeping distracted to blunt my reactions 

And anyhow you think less 

When there's less for you to think about 

A paralyzed puppet sits stiff in the window 

Grinding his teeth and playing piano 

All his songs bleed together in a flatline blur 

Broken litany, worthless words 

Creating space while your drinks get served 

I know it gets on your nerves 

Try to pretend like it's not work 

A little denial never hurts
