No Capo
I m crawling deeper in this hole where it s too cramped to move like you do
And where the echoes blend my words into a language of their own
And I think the corners I am turning dull my lantern to the outside
And the less that you remember me, the more this path s overgrown
And the way back is just a lucky break
That connects me to the dressing up of melody
The bite of infidelity
And I d long to swallow one more old song
Pretending that I have a chance to make you care
About this failing solitaire
Where I m in here and you re out there
-------->>>>>Chorus<<<<<<<------------
Because I m crawling deeper in
Into my own skin
Where there s no one to chase away
Or to guess the next thing that I say
I m invisible to you
To your bird s eye view
I know the angle all too well
It s how I saw before I fell
But now it s not so hard to tell
I m crawling deeper in myself
------------------------------------
And these corridors are veined with every word we ve ever spoken
And the story that they tell is just a wheel within a wheel
And every time I think I m crossing into where you cannot find me
You are always right behind me, half inside me half unreal
I forget all the skies and crocus petals
A time without retreating like a refugee, from such imagined treachery
Now silent, I m searching out this island
Pretending that I have a chance to make it where
The morning s not recycled air
And you re more than a prayer

Interlude on Bm
