Powders lyrics
by Wreck and Reference
I was gagging on the fat, sick dripping down my face, when you told me to relax, when you said "just take a break." When you rolled me on my side, and I began to shake. When you asked me for a reason, and I said I could relate. And I don’t know what you think when you look at me, and I don’t know what to say as we lay in bed. I don’t know what you think as you fall asleep, but when I fall asleep all I can do is count my breaths
And you said "what about the times outside?"
And I said "what about the hours inside crumbling to dust?"
And you said "what about the powders?"
And I said "what about the fluids?"
And you said "what about the cowards?"
And I said "what about me, what are you trying to say?"
And I said "what about me, what are you trying to say?"
And you said "what do you think we’re doing here?"
And I said "what about the night?"
And you said "what about the colors?"
And I said "what about the flowers?"
And you said "what about your brothers?"
And I said "what about the sin of my father that I ate, and it made me sick for days and days and days and days and days?"
And you said "what about the morning?"
And I said "what about the pain?"
And you said "what about the art?"
And I said "what about the shame?"
And you said "what about the artist?"
And I said "what about the rain?"
And you said "what about the colors as they all run down your face?"
And I said "what do you think I’m doing here?"
And you don’t know do you
And you said "what do you think we’re doing here?"
And I just laughed
