"History Sticks to Your Feet"

At the movies, eyes iced over
Walking sideways through them gutters
And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet like history
Well, don't you look at me like life don't hold you anymore mystery

Bag of splinters boiling over
On your back, expose your belly
Optimism doesn't change the facts
Just what you're gonna see

Like it was stated that we're walking
Salt and coal
Plants solidify sunshine
How this start, I don't know
Cars and feet and then tire change, shoe stores
The sun's diary pulled up from deep canary holes
And when we read it our skin it becomes warm

At the movies, eyes iced over
Walking sideways through the gutter
And you realize life sticks to your feet, you're history
I'm going to slap that look off your face like life don't hold no mystery

All those red marks on our shoulders
Self back-patting, homemade trophies
Well, the past only exist as tiny bricks we burn to release all it's memory
I've had enough with rolling boulders, I want more moss on me

Clocks to splinters, but time goes forward
And when them trees drop leaves your feet collect their memories
I guess all us snakes find our tail pretty damn tasty

I heard you mentioned that we're walking, salt and coal
Plants solidify sunshine
How it start, I don't know
Cars and feet and then tire change, shoe stalls
The sun's diary pulled up out of deep canary holes
And we read it our skin becomes quite warm

At the movies, eyes iced over
Walking sideways through them gutters
And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet, you're history
I'm gonna knock that look off your face like life don't hold you no more mystery
