letra de powerline days - kali masi

i can’t help but see it all now:
the dance of dominance and the submissive rites– like a muzzle for the face of love
and a small script written for your sons and daughters. i am the bar-fly swatter
this awkward and mindless game of predictable outcomes
don’t mistake my yawns for love songs

the color-blind daughter of the oil painter and the tone-deaf son of the cellist:
won’t you tell us of the love that brought you up?
you said the thought of me wore you so thin
was i the reason you stopped eating again?

to buy you a drink and to take you home, there was a knight in rusted armor
right on cue and playing safe, you held your breath from car to lake
check your phone and paint your face
it’s a farce and a fairytale

it makes me feel
regular and domestic to love on others terms and outlines, the definitions of the unexceptional
to love like a kite-string in a bad storm: tense and conductive
to break and fray like the rest of the rats in the race
turn ceilings to storms and lose yourself in the throes
if it takes all that we are to find a heart and home, well that’s how we’ll go

does it feel like this part’s been played out? like you’ve been here before?
stuck in a snowglobe, 20 years now, getting shook-up
the headlines on their faces say it’s absolutely greener
but all i see is concrete so i’m not sure what they mean
how does it feel?

i made you feel so
regular and domestic to love on others terms and outlines, the definitions of the unexceptional
to love like a kite-string in a bad storm: tense and conductive
to break and fray, break in wild winds and carry to the irregular
the domestic who live inside of terms and confines will love the way that’s expected
like a month to be paid
another crack in the paint
another bird that sings its song of flight but lives its life of powerline days
