wish me luck, common cold, or whatever you want all my little wishes they don't need me as a lie and a waste of time cause they're mine mine all mine like teeny signs that stay in sight i believe it was a sink and dirty plates that caught me looking away you caught me reading them as a dividing mark of time well the mind reminded acts like a kid what goes in it, grows in it every move, every month, everyday i hope all my wishes work me right apart from a later part of time cause they're mine mine all mine like teeny signs that stay in sight i could watch you cough lay you down, i could watch you get into a fit and how you come up out of it i could lend my hand keep it still, i could wish in every moment and hope for every moment filled oh there's a lot in a day I could wake up and say, something in the morning and still mean it when i'm snoring i could take my wishes touring i could arrive under your nose this could come alive and leave us stoned every move, every month, everyday i hope all my wishes work me right apart from a later part in time cause they're mine mine all mine like teeny signs that stay in sight

a brother gets stuck in his throat words of an uneven coat "with nothing he's nothing but bare" he thinks, cares i feel, by now i would've swerved but everyone takes their turns speak up or forever crash a cop closes his door two guys lay on the ground a brother opens his mouth but nick pouts "i see him, dont tell me why" oooh did we lose you weee could have lost you have you ever felt something that isn't real but you follow it with your heart and disappear i feel by now i would've learned but everyone takes their turns and you follow them with your heart and disappear oooh did we lose you weee could have lost you ooohhhuhhayuuuhhahhehh ehh ehh "i see him dont tell me why ill take on my own damn time i see him dont tell me why"

i dont walk, i corkscrew i cut through the air there aint a wall that i couldn't get through i couldnt tear well curly am i dreaming? my moods they leave me steaming you'd think that after walking down a road you'd get somewhere i think it's time to retire, my progress has been inches well i dont care i move quick you snakes have no idea though you could flip me head over shoulder over heel well it's on my mind face down in the water thinking god i gotta get up but god maybe is shouldn't freezin all my nightmares they go right into a box and then right into the refrigerator i'm not gonna be going anywhere soon if you're gonna be here i'm gonna be too and then it baloons, but it still feels like a rock and it's never going to pop well curly am i sober? i feel that i have learned this over and over and over and over (x4) i think it's time to retire, my progress has been inches

about

Dishes is Colin's third release, sort of. New with this round of songs is a beefed-up band, sort of. Mainly the songs play with structure.
