Keep It Even

Keep It Even - Parquet Courts

Written By：Austin Brown/Andrew Savage/Sean Yeaton/Max Savage

There's a drawer in my house that I try

To keep closed but it's open

There's a commitment that I made to be

Somewhere but it's broken an oblique

Mantra in my head it lies there on the floor

Like a bed that would

Collapse like a trap if it was spoken

You gotta keep it even even

When you're uptight

Even when you're happy

Even when you're reaching for some

Line I've had in mind it's been re-ressed over time so

I'm breathing

Seduced by an excuse that could

Not be made but

I'm speaking

There's a phone with a number that

I try not to call but it's ringing

For someone

I've tried to keep to

Myself but

I'm singing it's logic

That's twisted and paraphrased and

Justified by a distance that separates

A bond bound of persistence

You you gotta keep it even even when

You're uptight

Even when you're happy

Even when you're reaching for

That drawer in my house that I try

To keep closed but it's open
