Human Performance
Parquet Courts

[Verse 1]

I know exactly, where I was when I

First saw you the way I see you now, through these eyes, waiting to retry


Those pristine days I, recall so fondly

So few are trials when a life isn't lonely, and now if only


I'd never felt it, I'd never heard it

I know I loved you did I even deserve it, when you returned it


There's no suspicion, no hesitation

Believing through the eyes of sore, adoration


[Chorus]

Witness and know, fracture and hurt

Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed

Shield like a house, closing its doors

Curved in the dark, rinses of yours


[Verse 2]

Ashtray is crowded, bottle is empty

No music plays and nothing moves with-out drifting, into a memory


Busy apartment, no room for grieving

Sink full of dishes and no trouble believing, that you are leaving


Mid-sentence tremors, mind at its weakest


One way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with


[Chorus]

Witness and know, fracture and hurt

Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed

Shield like a house, closing its doors

Curved in the dark, rinses of yours


[Verse 3]

In walks the darkness, I pitch without you

Asks me do I realize what I'd done and who I'd done to, indeed I do know


It never leaves me, just visits less often

It isn't gone and I won't feel its grip soften, without a coffin


Breathing beside me, feeling its warmness

Phantom affection gives a human, performance


[Chorus]

Witness and know, fracture and hurt

Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed

Shield like a house, closing its doors

Curved in the dark, rinses of yours
