lyrics

On summer porches the torches are lit
But the light's pretty thin and opinion is split
So we sit
Impatient
Little hands tapping out a telegraph of battle plans

We get to poking, provoking on cue
And I can't even try saying why we all do what we do
But we do it
No regrets
That's just how it goes and goes and gets
Relentless...

The night's spread out, the light's still thin
But the blunt's real thick and it's quicker than gin
We want in
Impatient
Tonight's a thrill
Tomorrow...is tomorrow is tomorrow still

And she goes loco on SoCo and lime
Talking about Psy, or Dubai, or like violent crime
Killing time
But time ain't dying
There's no release
And every conversation piece goes on and on increasingly
Relentless...

And even when I try to catch a minute's rest
Count my blessings, hold them tightly to my chest
I know each moment has its moment then it's gone
And this goes on and on and on and on...

Relentless! Relentless! Relentless! Relentless!

I went out to the trees where he hung
About a hundred degrees and no breeze but he swung
And he's young
And all I was thinking about are the times within us when we can't take
The unremitting cycle of form then forget then forsake
And for what?
For self-esteem?
To talk so there's a little less space to scream?
The How is easy
Much harder Why
Still quiet, let it slip you by
The rising echo crying out
Relentless!

Relentless! Relentless! Relentless! Relentless!

You leave for vacation, you're back for the action
Vacation, duration, duration, distraction
You're out at the taping, you're home in the study
There's no one escaping, so dance everybody...
