Black And White Lyrics - Sunbathing Animal - Parquet Courts

Nothing makes my heart so wild as being 

In possession of a potent night 

Racing down the stairs in a nude descension 

Shedding and discarding my hide 

But the bold strokes crack so quickly 

And it's often that I wonder why 

Dripping at the slow-motion rate of surrender 

Hanging to my bones as they dry 

How can I want something more than a new hell in which to fry 

When I see in only black and white?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

There's a sinful sort of side of being 

So contained, a bit like being lost 

Stumbling through the background like a small town loner 

Quietly a-whisperin' my thoughts into my cupped hands 

Folded and monk-like, at least that's what I've always said 

How does writing letters from the lonely margins feel 

When there is no hair on my head? 

Is the solitude I seek a trap where I've been blindly led? 

Tell me, where then do I go instead? 

Photos 

When atonement comes in distant waves 

I might wait until the next to break 

Choking through forgiveness at a sunfly prompter 

Staring through the back of my face 

Its a vulgar, hidden part of being tethered to the world right now; 

Spending all my dollars to remain a member 

Nothing in my eyes but a scowl 

Do I bother to define myself beyond what they allow? 

Have I already forgotten how?
