lyrics

Here it comes — one more excuse to poison my system. Soon enough, I’ll piss off good night and sleep off an empty notebook. There’s severance agreements and calendar tricks, then I’ll shuffle off this mortal coil. And the sun won’t rise when the moon is high, and it still will be night for long.

And, oh, when I break down all my cells line up, and then my brain spills out on the floor. I know I’m not working that hard because I am not a part of it. I was once a part of it.

Oh, I liked it when you called my name. It felt something heavy, but I liked feeling nothing more. I remember moving in a room with you and thinking about it for too long.

So I turned off.

Here he comes — the static arranger gathering dust. So pull up and witness the spectacle of giving up. I’m out in the wilderness pretending it’s just another day taken off. But the grandstand’s wide at the county fair and the band’s set up but there’s no one around to care.

When my world gets this small I begin to unfold in spectacular fashion. I know I’m not working that hard because I am not a part of it. Was I once a part of it?
