lyrics

This Romance turns my heart to stone
I didn’t wait so I didn’t know
Picks and picks off the side of his cheeks skin
Up all night he played to win

It can’t remember what you wore that day
My back could break if I say the wrong thing
I ask about the time you forgot to call him
We share a smile I feel gone after I think

We’re just alone
You became the one I hate
You became natural ache
I feared to love

Halt this loss with piercing aim
Invariably sharp without a hesitation
To open up your eyes for a fighting flinch
My head full of ice anticipate earthquake
Anticipate earthquake

You became the one I loved
And you became the one I killed off
In this game

I was amazed by the way our bodies shake
I laughed it made me feel OK
We need you to come back here and fully decay
To the time when it was just a game
A handful of fists and never to pray
We’ll fake it til it sets aflame
My ears were collapsed by the thrill of the day
A smile, it took me away
A twenty-something mile, a sweat we break
So maybe find someone else to blame
I’m naked on my back it’s sunny today
It’s been awhile since I played to retain
If this is how it’s gonna be
I guess that I would have to say
It doesn't pain me to admit
It was another fine day unpaid
(When you come back) you say you’re feeling out of touch
That it’s not urgent but you called the home phone
(Thoughts of a car crash) were never really mine to suppress
You called so late you’re not waking me up
(I lay awake) And I anticipate the harm I deserve
The gun’s not loaded but your innocence yearns for it
(play date) The marrying of child and the poem
The flight’s delayed but I can see it’s coming in slow
(You looked away once) to the shade where all the settling starts
Been an eternity since all of your place fell apart
And I know that you anticipate earthquake
But please let me help you clean

about

Prathloons image

Prathloons Chicago, Illinois

Prathloons is the Chicago-based songwriting project of Collin Dall. His songwriting layers poetic, melancholic lyrics atop glacial arrangements on guitar, drums, piano, & violin. The songs reminisce on the mess of getting old, the woes of life-long relationships, & accepting that the meaning of our time on earth is simpler than we think: to love and listen, and to hope for the same in return. ... more
