I Stare at Floors Lyrics by Protomartyr

Under Color of Official Right

2014

[Verse 1]
The day comes
Same as before
Goes out again
Television, a concave window
Lawyers and murderers
The law is confusing
The order makes no sense
[Chorus]
Scratching the skin
Staring at walls
Staring at floors
The plan today is not to die
The cure-all is always over ice
Toasting the globe
Cursing those who live on it
Drinking it down and drinking it down
Keeping it down and keeping it down
[Verse 2]
People and their faces
Like a beautiful thing
Falling down the stairs
So-called friends
Between them and I
May be there be a poison ocean
[Chorus]
Scratching the skin
Staring at walls
Staring at floors
And not at eyes
That's where the soul lies
New memories are strangers I will never meet
Rheumy old thoughts are constant companions
[Post-Chorus]
Nipping at me
Nipping and barking at me
Nipping and barking at me
[Bridge]
All them
Why do they come?
Why don't they die?
Why don't they die?
[Outro]
I stare at floors
Until my eyes bleed
It's just a social disease
And now I'm free
