lyrics

I try my best to be productive
Intentions lie divided at best
Striking flint to curb my urges
To backwards walk into bed
Noxious ego grabs my ankles
Wishing of decadence
Drags me to the hard floor
Searching souls for a better stance

Keep coming up short
Seems I keep the best locked in
Louder now, let me hear where you’ve been
And all those teenage screams about
Limp love and high horses
Never had the first part
So I’ll live just like the horse did

So sick of this space I’ve made inside my head
Rolling eyes at dramatics
And entitlement
I watch from a shack that sits upon a hill
Scoffing at cities built from others wills
How could it be theirs,
When they looked to me to piece
Together foundations, confidence and revelries?
How could it be there?
Is whispered by vanity
Seduced by need to make myself holy

Keep coming up short
Seems I keep the best locked in
Louder now, let me hear where you’ve been
And all those teenage screams about
Limp love and high horses
Never had the first part
Fear I’ll live just like the horse did
