lyrics

we met and decided to always try to
hold out for the enemy
but how do we know that it's not me
the anchor is so firmly seated
in a blinding trusting sorta fucking stupid way
and i hope you had a really nice day

go dance for the kids who never had chance
to belie anonymity
still sporting the wrong shoes and socks
their bony legs just shy of atrophy
their hearts' rapid beating on a tattered sleeve
just like a dry leaf gently scraping down your street

hang on for the second encore
we promise to play all of our big hits
so show us your tits and sing along
to your best friend's favorite song
you know the one
where it's going on way too long
and the guitar screams like (this)

we met and decided to always try to
hold out for the enemy
but how do we know that it's not me
the walls are slowly closing in
this couch is wearing thin
and the joy is just a memory
and so you crush the leaf beneath your feet

It's easy to see why those who don't get it are really just aiming for the trees. -Lee Bedrouni ... more
