Lyrics

In Certain Orders

Can't we even draw a little line Without it getting crooked everytime Someone find this magnet and unearth it Find this gravity that pulls from perfect When you take a secret to the grave No one even knows that you were brave But words only appear in certain orders Or no one listens anyway It doesn't go that way We don't know how to hear it but we think It's what we don't know how to say Behind the eyes and ears are little throats Gagging on all unfamiliar notes Choking off all inorganic bit's Boxes are the size of what it fit's Sizes that are alien to trust Sizes and the shapes made out of us See words only appear in certain orders Or no one listens anyway It doesn't go that way We don't know how to hear it but we think It's what we don't know how to say Walking through a forest in the dark Aiming at a universal mark Till randomly a piece of what you mean Is connected into everything unseen Anyone can do it just as well It doesn't help as far as I can tell And kindness only works in certain orders Or no one feels it anyway It doesn't go that way And thoughts only appear in certain orders Or no one thinks them anyway It doesn't go that way And words only appear in certain orders Or no one listens anyway It doesn't go that way We don't know how to hear it but we think It's what we don't know how to say
