with the frequency.
Bb
But it needs a mate to calm me down,
Eb            Bb                
postcards and phones calls to a 
Eb            Bb
long distance small town.

(RIFF)

Bb
And I've never been good with 
secrets to keep,
Eb
but I can lie white, right through 
my teeth.
Bb                          
That current takes us, and we 
  Eb
breathe it in.
Bb                           Eb
Mistakes in old friends to a short 
coming, quick end.
Bb                           Bb

atlas,
Eb                 Bb     Eb

Bb           Eb
And I revise and I rewrite.
Bb              Eb           Bb 
I'm drowning in long nights, 
              Eb
late drives with old ghosts,
Eb
I'm an index of footnotes.
Bb                           
And I'm sick, sick, sick of my 
               Eb
complaining, that rhetoric

that I've been writing.
Bb                                
That blood red bled from ink to 
   Eb
pen, I'm blue/black
