lyrics

make a mark, make it light
I'm impressed or depressed
graphite sheen, vows in lead
crumpled page, eraser head

rubber flakes, parched & gray
all accounts whisk away
try again, fill it in
now's your chance to make it make sense

I've got a well-trained eye & it's looking at you
I'm seeing black & white, hope that makes it taste right
I've got a mouthful of lemon & it's embittering
you want a second draft, well that can be your thing
cuz I'm turning sour inside

make a mark, make a joke
if you're amused you're confused
check the tank, one way trip
can't look back, a rearview crack

secret tryst amongst the mist
slight of hand, a flick of the wrist
magic trick, smokescreen thick
but I saw the strings & didn't laugh

I've got a well-trained eye & it's looking at you
cowboys & indians, oh wow it's really simple then
I've got a mouthful of lemon & it's embittering
you want to demonize, well that can be your thing
cuz now I'm sour inside again
you lied again

but I can make a beanstalk nursery rhyme
an ending that is mine if I need to
& I can raise a flagpole run a sign
declaring all is fine if I have to
& I can fill a half empty glass of wine
as half full as the Rhine if I want to
& I can make a lemonade from a lemon lime ingredient

made a mark, made it light
I'm a mess I confess
brain is washed, icy arctic
arc your back, this is cathartic

clear the plate, sublimate
I needed this, I needed this
peel the scabs, peroxide dabs
now smile & laugh & start another tab

I've got a well-trained eye & it's looking at you
you sell your fairy tale then buy it back on clearance sale
I've got a mouthful of lemon & it's embittering
you want amnesia, well that can be your thing
but I wont sour inside again
your not a friend

& I can make a beanstalk nursery rhyme
an ending that is mine if I need to
& I can raise a flagpole run a sign
declaring all is fine if I have to
& I can fill a half empty glass of wine
as half full as the Rhine if I want to
& I can make a lemonade from a lemon lime ingredient

I can make a lemonade from a lemon lime ingredient
I can make a lemonade from a lemon lime ingredient
I can make a lemonade from a lemon lime ingredient
& I'm going to
