Power Chords, Distorted Bass, Weird Lyrics... wait, is it the early 90's again?
lyrics
WHAT ONLY BENDS
Fastening your sandals, blowing out the candles
Pour another glass of orange juice
Sewing up the patches, running out of matches
Gather up the change that’s all been loose
Wiping down the windshield, shopping cart with three wheels
Looking all around for a good fight
Picking up your paper, ignoring all the neighbors
Taking down the gaudy Christmas lights
I can’t climb inside your head again
I didn’t get quite enough sleep
I don’t know that I really understand
What it’s got to do with me
Play another solo, and baby really let go
Underestimate all of your friends
Try to stop the trauma, escalate the drama
And never try to break what only bends
Can we make it louder if we have no power
Tell me if you think that you might faint
Breathing under water, just don’t take y our daughter
‘Cause this ain’t a game of finger paint
(CHORUS)
