Histories - Dare Not Lyrics

When you've done all you can, and I start to slip into the defense
Dare not let attempted eloquence excuse the kick behind the knee
Maybe in time I could help you better facilitate your brilliance
Maybe in time you could teach me that I'm no more resilient
I wanna love beyond the bottom of an empty sink
Absorbing detail after detail of your memories
Losing focus 'til I'm actually listening
And with however slight the emphasis to reaffirm
My second-nature vying favorably for you alone
I am partial and would be proud to be in the wrong
It's more than necessary upkeep
Hardly mundane to retain my sanity
Catching a break to restore capacity
I'll be attentive for the downtime
All your brain and the stored up energy
Never left; you're just caught up bottling
And I assure you, it's your best quality
I've not done all I can erasing efforts of the pretext
Mark my words, I am the plagiarist that I pretended not to be
Caught up ignoring any matters of which I'm claiming an attraction
Caught up discouraging the flatter to remember to return a fraction
I wanna love beyond the bottom of an empty sink
Absorbing detail after detail of your memories
Losing focus 'til I'm actually listening
And with however slight the emphasis to reaffirm
My second-nature vying favorably for you alone
I am partial and would be proud to be in the wrong
It's more than necessary upkeep
Hardly mundane to retain my sanity
Catching a break to restore capacity
I'll be attentive for the downtime
All your brain and the stored up energy
Never left; you're just caught up bottling
And I assure you, it's your best quality
You are capable of anything
-So much more than I could ever give credit
If it'll help you to know, I wanna let you know, I'm gonna learn your language
