lyrics

Hang up your head until you're fit for purpose
Letting go like this is all you've ever known,
born into it, stolen in the process,
thinking too hard, but always never enough
And when you dance around mistakes,
like they aren't yours to make,
you know you'll never make it
Dressed up like an ornament,
letting the hollow spread quicker every day

Like all good consumers of loneliness
choosing to find strength in our own intangible things,
like a drink, or a toothless shot in the dark
when all we need is a toast to some certainty
Old scenes in the season of fever dreams
don't feel the way that they used to
You keep reeling it, reeling in
over and over
Reaching for something new
over and over again

Another stalemate, back to the drawing board
(Too many voices, too many faces
too many options saturate it)
A willing scapegoat traipsing on the wire
(Take the blame, feel the fire
go to bed, wake up and do it again)

It's like you can't listen
It's like you don't hear anymore
It's like you won't listen
It's like you don't feel anymore
