lirik lagu fred thomas - coughed up a cufflink

coughed up a cufflink
said i swallowed my rings as i slept on the floor
i was lying, of course
that never even happened in a dream
the headspins
and the nosebleeds
the cars crashed
and the stars seen
did you hear the part where i said
that i stayed up all night but still missed every flight?
did you see the deficit displayed on my sleeve?
and what my song said was:
“throw open all the windows
let the night in
step and climb every rung
summon storms from your lungs
let the hummingbirds nest in your throat”
but what that meant was:
i slеpt late
wasted the еntire day
all my energy spent contemplating myself
now i’m hungry and everything’s closed
always in the back of my mind
there’s a familiar voice muttering
reading from a ledger of time
constantly there to remind me
and incapable of forgetting
on a drive day through the plains states
eight hundred miles moving one way
conversation’s dried up
even the music just buzzes now
there’s nothing left to do but look ahead
a memory gets unlocked;
little dead bird on the sidewalk
and how beside it you placed the cardboard sign that you made
that said “i’m happier this way.”
and what your sign meant, i ignored then
because i cared so much more
about having a girlfriend than understanding the person you were
or the dictum of hurt
that you learned in the house where you grew up
so in the moment i barely noticed
but now i can decode it
it said:
“do you honestly think you somehow factor in?
i can’t even see you
there was a time when this violence was something i ran from
but now we’re inextricably linked
if we’re even different things
i can’t wait until i’m like this bird
i’ll be so much happier.”
