Open​/​Shut

from Taking Sides (album) by Court Hoang

lyrics

laid out on my floor, pictures try to sell me things
i was walking out my door and stopped to breathe
picture's fading, feeling free

(h)ours are all the same, yours and mine are both the same
i was listening until the picture faded
and the clock covered its face

in seasons of the deepest of the seas
i was waiting for your teeth to open/shut and tear through me

won't you come and sit with me sometime
there is a reason to go outside the lines of the pane

it struck me as unwise to derail the dialogue
looking closely helped me see through all this fog
see you clearly as i was

pouring down the drain thoughts of intrigue and of blame
but something's catching me up in the same old ways
picture's fading out of a

clear night in the moonlight and the skies
are singing songs of love and grace,
singing songs of hating the

daybreak making clear all of our mistakes
don't know what you're asking for, but i can't help you anymore
i can't help you anymore, i can't help you anymore
