Clairvoyant by Tin Foil Top Hat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Words are gone
There’s tension on the surface only for so long…silence again
Noises gone
Concentric circles reach me only for so long…silence again
[Verse 2]
Just buzz words and on
My skin I’ll hear it only for so long…silence again
When rhetoric is gone
This apprehension lasts only for so long…silence again
[Bridge 1]
We tried to walk away, but this noose brings us back
And justifies the initial act
[Pre-Chorus]
In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns
[Verse 3]
When our clothes are gone
The words you whisper reach me only for so long…silence again
When you are gone
The space you leave will be filled before too long
[Bridge 2]
Keeping this at bay is like trying to hold the waves back
And trying to hold the waves back, I fill in every crack
By filling every crack
By filling every crack
Crack
[Pre-Chorus]
In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns
[Chorus 1]
And the problem with being right all the time
Is the shit I have to stomach every time you change your mind
[Bridge 3]
We tried to walk away but this haiku brings us back
We study it for permission, and it only mirrors what we lack
We tried to walk away, and this fairy tale brings us back
And like our faces it only cracks
[Pre-Chorus]
In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns
[Chorus 2]
And the problem with being right all the time
Is you think you’re doing god’s work every time you change your mind
The problem with being right all the time
You pretend you’re wearing brand new clothes, and we pretend we’re blind
And that’s the problem with being right all the time
But if the emperor can be naked, so can I
If the emperor can be naked, so can I
If the emperor can be naked, so can I
(So can I, so can I, so can I, so can I)
[Outro]
(So can I, so can I, so can I, so can I)
Words are gone
There’s tension on the surface only for so long…silence again
Noises gone
Concentric circles reach me only for so long…silence again
[Verse 2]
Just buzz words and on
My skin I’ll hear it only for so long…silence again
When rhetoric is gone
This apprehension lasts only for so long…silence again
[Bridge 1]
We tried to walk away, but this noose brings us back
And justifies the initial act
[Pre-Chorus]
In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns
[Verse 3]
When our clothes are gone
The words you whisper reach me only for so long…silence again
When you are gone
The space you leave will be filled before too long
[Bridge 2]
Keeping this at bay is like trying to hold the waves back
And trying to hold the waves back, I fill in every crack
By filling every crack
By filling every crack
Crack
[Pre-Chorus]
In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns
[Chorus 1]
And the problem with being right all the time
Is the shit I have to stomach every time you change your mind
[Bridge 3]
We tried to walk away but this haiku brings us back
We study it for permission, and it only mirrors what we lack
We tried to walk away, and this fairy tale brings us back
And like our faces it only cracks
[Pre-Chorus]
In turn, every wave that I create returns
In turn, every wave that I create returns
[Chorus 2]
And the problem with being right all the time
Is you think you’re doing god’s work every time you change your mind
The problem with being right all the time
You pretend you’re wearing brand new clothes, and we pretend we’re blind
And that’s the problem with being right all the time
But if the emperor can be naked, so can I
If the emperor can be naked, so can I
If the emperor can be naked, so can I
(So can I, so can I, so can I, so can I)
[Outro]
(So can I, so can I, so can I, so can I)
