lyrics

it feels so strange
that now, more than ever,
no one wants to talk about it
it pays to be clever –
not the kind of thing you want to hear
when you’re this tired
and you’re just a hired gun
when your back is sore
from standing at shows
and you’re not even 30 yet,
but at this point,
you might as well be dead.
oh man,
the year 2016 really got me, let me at it again.

how could you write that then sleep?
why all this hide and seek?
come out and sit right next to me -
and let’s get to talking through all this dismantling.

so quickly, we’re back
we’re singing the same tune
but to someone else’s song
shame will one day find you
when you wake up on a side you’re never on
and you’ll feel so tired
so many years you’re running from
your principles are only slightly dulled
but the shapes and the lines on my body aren’t the ones you knew before
it’s clear where this is going, you don’t have long to let me know
how could you write that then sleep?
why all this hide and seek?
how will you find your harmony
while I’m out here
and you’re sitting right next to me?
