lyrics

Marathon

I was running toward the wall, fingers collapsing into fists
certainty, dignity, strength and such, I thought to catch it in a cup

How long can you keep that up?
How long can you keep that up?

I was vibrating along a line, lonely, callow, saturnine
who do I know who knows about this?
I’ve become not enough
traded my house my car my coffee cups

How long can you keep that up? (how long?)
How long can you keep that up? (how long?)
How long can you keep that up? (how long?)

I am not the day turning red
I am not a hand I am holding
her dogs barking in the doorway
the way she ignored me
I thought the sky was falling, I tried to hold it up

How long can you keep that up? (how long?)
How long can you keep that up? (how long?)

solo

You danced down the steps, north in Hokkaido
blessings, cancellations, a free ride on a bus
constantly scribbling, nervous and curious
How long can you keep that up?
(How long can you keep that up?)
