i ll still destroy you

The National

It s so easy to set off
The molecules and the caplets
They all have something against me
Nothing I do makes me feel different

This one s like your sister s best friends in her bed
calling me to join them
Can t avoid them
This one s like your mother s arms
when she was young and sunburnt in the 80s
Lasts forever

The more level they have me
The more I cannot stand me
I have helpless friendship
And bad taste in liquids

This one s like the wilderness, without the world
I m gonna miss those longs nights
the windows open
I keep re-reading the same lines
always up at 5am every morning
Like a baby

It s just the lights coming on
It s just the lights coming on

I have no positions
No point of view or vision
I m just trying to stay in touch
with anything I m still in touch with

The sky s getting whiter
I can t find a liner anywhere I m going crazy
I m not crazy
Put your heels against the wall
I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you
I ll still destroy you

It s just the lights coming on
It s just the lights coming on
