Partial Paradigm Songtext

tap-dancing down the sidewalk towards the stairs
a balancing act, when the concrete's like water
in the sunlight, seems so friendly, you just just act so wise
if you give me a dollar I bet that I'll piss off these guys
she said “the truth will set you free” but I'm just listening
crammed in a file, i can't believe
an errant branch is headed for your face
the summer is bleeding through layers of silk crepe
wipe your hands dry, we're still sleeping, just you hold tight
i'll raise up glasses if you raise the stakes in a fist fight
