lyrics

there was a man who's hands were spades
and with them he would etch into marble beautiful things
when found out he could never undull them alone
he fell to his knees, punched the ground
and then he got stuck

until someone pulled him out
but the water won and now
he's painting the rust

when he found the coat had dried
he pulled all his strings like a puppeteer to find
anyone with the patience and the skill
to reset the edge and to deinvent this wheel

that pulls him anywhere
far enough away from
feeling their love

he met a girl who swore she could see
all of her faults, the complete state of things
on a good day she would say objectively
but in between extremes, she'd just flee

so she could just repeat
and hopefully there would be
something to rust
