A Comet Appears Lyrics - Wincing The Night Away - The Shins

One hand on this wily comet 

Take a drink just to give me some weight 

Some uber-man I'd make 

I'm barely a vapor 

They shone a chlorine light on 

A host of individual sins 

Let's carve my aging face off 

Fetch us a knife 

Start with my eyes 

Down so the lines 

Form a grimacing smile 

Close your eyes to corral a virtue 

Is this fooling anyone else? 

Never worked so long and hard 

To cement a failure

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

We can blow on our thumbs and posture 

But the lonely are such delicate things 

The wind from a wasp could blow them 

Into the sea 

With stones on their feet 

Lost to the light and the loving we need 

Still to come 

The worst part and you know it 

There is a numbness 

In your heart and it's growing 

With burnt sage and a forest of bygones 

I click my heels 

Get the devils in line 

A list of things I could lay the blame on 

Might give me a way out 

Photos 

But with each turn 

It's this front and center 

Like a dart stuck square in your eye 

Every post you can hitch your faith on 

Is a pie in the sky 

Chock full of lies 

A tool we devise 

To make sinking stones fly 

And still to come 

The worst part and you know it 

There is a numbness 

In your heart and it's growing
