William Tell Override
(album: Perfecting Loneliness)
Caught making conversation to your teeth.
Kite high in Tuesday ether.
Been gone all week.
People live for such a long time.
Eighty years to get one right.
Jet white like all day paper comes back blank.
No time for conversation, too much to say.
We think you´ll live for such a long time now.
You can take this as you like.
This is the sun beating down your door.
Feels like a gun, right between the eyes.
Warm in your sunshine.
William Tell override.
White lies and dedication.
Have a seat.
Glass actor swing your hammer.
This isn´t me.
I´ve been searching for the right kind.
One who doesn´t aim so high.
This is the sun, a lifelong suicide,
cold as a gun in hands that can´t decide.
Warm in her sunshine.
William Tell override.
When I took it to the man,
he said, "We´re doing all we can."
Then he shook my hand
This is the sun, closer than you know.
Feels like a gun, shining through your window.
Warm in the sunshine.
William Tell override.
