lyrics

i tried to be a well dressed man
they staked me out, led me on, their children suffocating
& pretty soon they shot me down
hyperventilating, hope that you don’t see me later

i couldn’t keep her off my mind
wrote automatically, dictated every word i’m speaking
& pretty soon she came around
but our routine was improvised, i couldn’t stop my hands from shaking

(ch.) i get sold, i don’t get seen
slideshows spin & grind & stall out, i don’t wanna go outside
i don’t wanna see you draw a line, but it don’t reach
view gets blurry & it burns out, i don’t wanna live or die
drowning i got drowned out (/ch.)

i couldn’t sing them back to me
while they were locked away i could not stay so isolated
& shaky fists that clung to me
a real slow disease, temporary & sustaining

i took her everywhere with me
into the light, but i could not keep track of all my scheming
& when we crossed & looked around
our routine was improvised i couldn’t stop my hands from shaking

(ch. repeats)
