A Comet Appears Lyrics

One hand on this wily comet, Take a drink just to give me some weight, Some uber-man I'd make, I'm barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on, A host of individual sins, Let's carve my aging face off, Fetch us a knife, Start with my eyes, Down so the lines, Form a grimacing smile,
Close your eyes to corral a virtue, Is this fooling anyone else? Never worked so long and hard, To cement a failure,
We can blow on our thumbs and posture, But the lonely are such delicate things, The wind from a wasp could blow them, Into the sea, With stones on their feet, Lost to the light and the loving we need, [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/a-comet-appears-lyrics-the-shins.html ]
Still to come, The worst part and you know it, There is a numbness, In your heart and it's growing,
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones, I click my heels, Get the devils in line, A list of things I could lay the blame on, Might give me a way out,
But with each turn, It's this front and center, Like a dart stuck square in your eye, Every post you can hitch your faith on, Is a pie in the sky, Chock full of lies, A tool we devise, To make sinking stones fly,
And still to come, The worst part and you know it, There is a numbness, In your heart and it's growing.
