Arms Against Atrophy Lyrics - Airing Of Grievances - Titus Andronicus

A band trip dance - what could be the harm 

But a six week vacation from the use of my right arm 

It was just the two hits I remember nothing more 

Only Alex hitting the switch and me hitting the floor 

We're taking this lying down 

The one thing I can stand up for is resting supine on the ground 

Mr. McDermott, won't you help me to my feet 

Because the drumline's going wild in the San Francisco streets 

The long walk home, is an hour and a half 

But it quickly turns to three or four with stops at every underpass 

But by June 22nd, I have done the math 

That's a hundred and five liters I'll consume of Dr. Path 

Some girls will tell their secrets to anyone 

The word "love" gets thrown around a lot near graduation 

So please don't whisper sweet nothings in my ear 

When the sound of shredding vocal chords is what I want to hear 

Because we're going to San Francisco and I forget to wear some flowers in my hair 

She's got a secret surname that nobody knows with the most gorgeous hyphen 

You wouldn't believe the way it glows 

And I'm the only one who gets to see it way up close 

So the rest of you can stick it up your nose 

Last night, I had the strangest dream that I have ever known 

My mother, in a fit of rage, chases me from our home 

My mother, the murderer holds me down in the road 

She's got the nail clippers at my throat

Even though things lately may have been real horror-show 

I'm wishing I was back in-utero 

I'd like to go back to the way that things were before, but apparently 

I'm looking at physical therapy 

It won't be exactly how it used to be 

It ain't hard to see that it's not that way 

Not that way anymore 

Jesus Christ is suffering upon his cross tonight 

I just sit outside waiting for frost to bite 

"It's always this way," she says on her way out the door 

Wait and see 

The rest is yet to reveal itself to me
