Vocal Chords by The Zygotes Lyrics

Do you remember
Your tendons in knots
Pushing thoughts through your throat?

Do you pretend
That you haven't forgotten
Every song that we wrote?

Cut open wide, wide open eyes
And a waste of your time

Follow the herd
And the sounds of the words
Must mean nothing to her

Play on words
But don’t get hurt
Breathe in her
Tastes like dirt

Do you remember
Trying not to forget
All the time that I spent
Shooting the sun
Until the children had won
The right to learn how to live

Dried up flies
Until a cardinal flies
Into the whites of your eyes

Mine have been gone
I think for far too long
Good thing I'm too wet to cry

Play on words
But don't get hurt
Breathe in her
Tastes like dirt
