You're Trailing Yourself

What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The sputter and blink of a streetlamp
2
Makes you taller then shrinks you then splits you in half
3
So you're trailing yourself
4
On the walk to the pay phone
5
Your pocket's weighted down with quarters
6
In the hope that no ones home
7
You spray paint cinnamon on vines
8
And key the cars you pass by
9
Your ears burn and your voice don't sound right
10
So you spend the next week playing weekend
11
Rollin' three men alone in the dark in your kitchen
12
Your apartment can't talk, so it's safe for your secrets
13
All the stories you've invested with a masochist menacing meaning
14
Those tired tricks that you play
15
To graft a life to your name
16
And you know It's not yours but for now it's okay
17
You wake and cut your initials in cheap glass
18
To mark a space for yourself when you're time here is passed
19
And you're drifted and done, trading danger for distance
20
And all those rocks that rope your neck
21
Are finally nameless and weightless and faceless
22
And you'll strip the sting from those stains
23
That bleed the life from your face
24
And your cheeks will burn red on that pure perfect day
