little white lighters - walter etc. lyrics

thank you notes and little white lighters
turning up in the junk drawer of my neurosis
spare spectators for a monk on fire
at least mark me with your lipstick
before i go in*
side to grab my green backpack
filled with the comforts of home
and all the vices of a renaissance man
with no more show to hit the road
i stowaway
on the sunny side of satire
in a sentimental hiding place
before i go in

there’s different ways to get here, depends
how you remеmber the map
you gotta start noticing negativе sp*ce
it’s grandmas smoking on the beach
it’s dads teaching their sons how to boogie board
it’s the dark figure laying down on the train tracks
it’s between polka dots and little white spiders
fruit peels rotting on the cutting board
the dimple on your saintly sad expression
as you lean in to brand my neck
with good tidings and all your family’s blessings
before i go in, before i go out
i hear falling in love is like l!cking a knife
you can really mess yourself up
if you don’t do it right
but i’m doing the best that i know how
and building a legacy is like tangling a rope
in the end you just hope
that it makes sense
or looks pretty to folks
so we can justify our circus of mistakes
and finally begin to quench our
still unfulfilled potential
counterfeit divine credentials
and fake it til we make it or
one of us gets too drunk
hiccups interrupt our quiet moment
and you catch me singing farewells again
before i go in

thank you notes and little white liars
why is everything so heartbreaking
in the throes of the afternoon
cheap art supplies and pacifiers
why does anyone do anything?
why do we have to leave so suddenly soon?
oh i didn’t realize i cared so much
til i was swollen with the fear of abandonment
and an existential shame
but still lucid moments remain
like your lipstick on my wounds
and all your family’s blessings
before i go in, before i go out
before i go out
it’s all thank you notes and little white lighters…
