Paralyze

cover my hands, bury my face
in the bosom of the radio
it's bending my ear with the sweetest of lies
watching all the yesterdays glow

i can hear your voice
like the loom of an organs footwork pedaling
i cover my mouth with a curse and a cross to paralyze

don't you trust me
i'm listening
don't you trust me

time changes time
into a spineless curve
turned on a dime
away from what was preserved
lost in my mind
is a shallow reserve
but you've got a lot of nerve

the feeling i get from closing my eyes
is like throwing my hands in the air
i can fill up my mouth with curses and lies
but i don't think that my friends would care

i feel my face growing hot
like a film strip melting yellowing
i cover my eyes like a moth to the lights that paralyze

are you wandering or falling out?
are you wandering

time changes time
into a spineless curve
turned on a dime
away from what was preserved
lost in my mind
is a shallow reserve
but you've got a lot of nerve
