lyrics

when you listen to this album
it’s best to think about the words in your head that i’m blocking out
jobs babies money death
the game you play where the winner dies slower than everyone else
saddled with more responsibilities and more people to let down
and more money left behind that they never got to spend

i like to think of my voice as a vice
a way to wrestle with the thoughts in my head
in a dimly lit cage where the trophy is denial and a dead weight on your shoulder

i play pretend with the thoughts i write down
because telling the truth is like touching up your face with transparent foundation
i play pretend with the scenes i lay out
because what happens in my life isn’t what happens in my head

i want my body to crave the freedom of the universe but all it wants is a nice warm bed
it’s so simple, the way i’ve been taught to live this way with a few bucks in my pocket and a lot more in the bank
i am not the bird i used to be

instead i am here speaking to you
telling you that the sky is falling and
when it’s dark you can be anything else
because i know i’ll never get the chance
