Impossible Figure Lyrics - Grippe - Jawbox

forced open eyes, i felt the heat cling to me, 

felt the air pass through me 

rode an engine that was wearing down. 

from bearing me between the nether ends of questions, 

past my half-learned lessons, 

while i faked a joyful sound. 

chrysalis, always waiting, wasting time 

debating action, feeling smart, 

and pushing to be pulled apart. 

you know this road so well, 

can't tell me where it leads. 

fifty miles of extremes, from contact to withdrawal, 

that engine's slowing to a crawl. 

doubtful of a coming change, 

that turns half into a whole 

without feeling pain at all. 

you know this road so well, 

can't tell me 

where it leads... 

it's only in-between.
