Jawbox - Spit-bite

real time, is this real time
or am i just top standby
watching ceiling lines
studying blank signs

downtime, this is downtime
but were fixing nothing
just watching plate and fire
that burn first touching

annealing until flames beyond concern revealing whats only fit to burn

if this was all mine
any test would be fine
but flames just blur lines
so all i want is to resign

memory spit-bite wipe it clean
but i need a solvent thats stronger
what passes these lips is so binding
drawing one to another
