Canaries Lyrics - Kind Of Like Spitting

Make what you can out of nothing 

Keep bluffing your way to extinction 

You're a sick fuck to think 

That this, unlike anything else, will last forever 

Building rock anthems a jigsaw exterior 

You see what you miss 

But you can't stand to be near her 

It's bigger than that you realize 

But short-sighted impulses own what's left of your dignity 

Tell yourself quietly don't plow the field yet 

You're waiting to grow some new life from retrospect 

You know free agency pays little in the long run 

But you just don't feel likt your legs aren't that tired yet 

Friends and go-betweens 

Sing like canaries crushed in leaves 

This is the thanks you get 

Somewhere that's sweet 

Maybe someday we will meet 

And I can thank you without strings 

All these befores that get drilled on long after 

It's all just leverage when you're sure that it's over 

The street goes blurry like a movie that you saw once 

Minutes freeze but you can't collect the corners still 

She used to whisper you name like a refrain 

And when she held you, you know, you felt safer 

But your demons are fucking huge 

You stack your deck to lose 

You say there's nothing you can do 

Well we all know that you're lying 

Friends and go-betweens 

Sing like canaries crushed in leaves 

This is the thanks you get 

You get what you put in 

I guess that's bullshit in the end 

Written under fluorescent lights 

That replace the sun at night
