a picture-perfect dream
got caught-up and out-drawn
if my song loses shape
in the meantime, please,
identify me by sound
the room grew too dark
please hear me out
gentlemen can act out
totally torn in two, totally torn in two,
show no solid scar
i’m in good hands but i ask:
who controls you? who controls you?
it’s an empty part
a picture-perfect dream
thrown too far to be heard
if my word loses shape too easily
identify me by touch
at least know my pain
at least know this much
gentlemen can act out
totally torn in two, totally torn in two,
show no solid scar
i’m in good hands but i ask:
who controls you? who controls you?
it’s an empty part
it starts out an empty space
what you thought would explode
i’ve come to love what i know
it starts out a whisper’s pace
the shaking of his hand
i’ve come to love what i am what i am what i am what i am--
malcolm, who’s laughing now?
identify me by sound
or do you fear what you’ve found?
is the question too tough?
am i still here? is that enough?
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
