Lyrics :)

The mirrors here speak in a language I don’t know
Bending the vowels til they don’t quite fit my throat
There’s a picture on the wall of a face I haven’t met
Eyes like mine but a frame I can’t forget.
I keep thinking if I tilt my head right,
I’ll step in and see the light.
Oh I’ll step in and see the light.

I feel my face
It disintegrates and
Forms something new
I wanted the true-ue-ue-ueth 

And I don’t fit my own reflection
Fit the coat before I knew
The photograph is and imitation (ah-ah-ah)
A glass like water, bending faces
All my lines are out of place
The photograph is and imitation (ah-ah-ah)

There’s an old map on my dressing room floor
Folded where the edges don’t meet anymore
I dress in good intentions then, forget the name. 
Of the pockets that once learned how to hold the same
I keep thinking if I tilt my head right,
I’ll step in and see the light.
I need to feel the light,
Oh I need to feel the light.

I feel my face
It disintegrates and
Forms something new
I wanted the true-ue-ue-ueth 

And I don’t fit my own reflection
Fit the coat before I knew
The photograph is and imitation (ah-ah-ah)
A glass like water, bending faces
All my lines are out of place
The photograph is and imitation (ah-ah-ah)

The mirrors here speak in a language I don’t know
Bending the vowels til they don’t quite fit my throat
There’s a picture on the wall of a face I haven’t met
Eyes like mine but a frame I can’t forget.
I keep thinking if I tilt my head right,
I’ll step in and see the light.
Oh I’ll step in and see the light.

Dean Owens - New Mexico (ft Joey Burns and John Convertino) - WAV

I am the garden
that backs on to your train;
graffiti on a hoarding
sordid reading at close range.
Tights in the gutter.
Another shutter down forever.
I am bouquets at the side of the road.

Look for me in the tailback
as you drive the flyover.
I’m the wall of the underpass
Everyone’s eyes slide off me like egg. At last.

I’m the dark sockets
of a house with no power.
Trip switch lips.

Look for me in the now.

Have I broken into your heart yet?
Have I broken into your heart yet?
I’m talking in tongues again, I know. I know.
But have I?
Broken into your heart yet?

Look for me in the trees
at every roundabout you approach,
in hot black rubber tracks.

I am nettles in the hedgerow
a balloon, a blister pack.
I’m teething again
but this time it’s words, it’s words.

Stand firm Kate:
I make a sweep of my face,
and fake my forehead terror proof.
This is not the time to step out into your headlights.
Look for me in the now.
This is not the time to step out into your headlights.
Look for me in the now.

It’s in the words, the words, the words.
The words, the words, the words.
Look for me in the now.
