"I Remember Me" from the upcoming album, "I Don't Know What's Safe" due to be released January 2019.
lyrics
Unmade and made right with anything,
I want to blur my eyes just shy enough,
until I'm two shapes or one shudder,
who's telling what's what?
Whether I'm rare, a memorized awry, the fourth of July.
Whether I'm there in a Chevrolet sulfide, memorial try,
shelling warnings like a guarantee of an aim and a sudden shout.
I'm the calloused side of an ornamental insignia,
I'm the hit you'd want more than anything,
the counting back from or until I say "three".
I'm a tassel tied on, all sentimental by knots,
then a hi-fi of what I knew you could be,
"is it IA next year?", is it, "I still remember me".
A new way to say just about everything,
is it "terrified" or "I swear I'm not",
is it "shit man, I think I love her" then not giving a fuck.
Second I'm sure and settled in Hawkeye with a handle like her.
Second I'm worse and drawing up design of making me hurt,
shelling warning like the way they mean with an aim and a sudden shout.
I'm the calloused side of an ornamental insignia,
I'm the hit you'd want more than anything,
the counting back from or until I say "three".
I'm a tassel tied on, all sentimental by knots,
then a hi-fi of what I knew you could be,
"is it IA next year?", is it, "I still remember me".
