People You Meet Outside of Bars - 03.11.12 Lyrics

Things are always breaking inside of you
Your throat is an unnavigable desert, all scorched earth and gouged ground
And your ears crackle and fade like cheap headphones
Strings in your head sing as they're pulled tight and begin to vibrate, higher and higher
Building up a discordant hum that ends in a thunderclap of snapping
It echoes down through your muscles, shaking your eyes open
You stare at the wall and try to will them to close for a few hours
There's a pressure in your bones like they're all about to burst
You kind of wish they would
