Lyrics His Phase - Pinback

His Phase

Everything going by
Conversations liked to falter to the side
Everything ever said opened wide
Every time that you speak I just die
Darkness flows through you
We can’t keep the rain from getting in
Storm will cut through you
We can’t withhold a thing
And then they come up to me with hello and goodbye
As if the challenge to beat was if they could do it by yourself
You rewatch and and return again
Gifting backwards
Tumble into your surprise
Word busting every time
Soon your world and your brain will collide
Hope I won’t be around when you forget to fly
Darkness flows through you
We can’t keep the storm from settling in
We can’t rescue
Hopeless, we can’t do anything to help
And then they come up to me with hello and goodbye
As if the challenge to beat was if they could do it by yourself
One to fix you, one to take you on
One to heal you, one to lead you on
