lyrics

Luck, and a fragile charm ran out and I’m back at square one.
Second guessing the back route
Out of the background holler of skinny jean poets and pseudo intellectuals.
Not enough polish, or not enough college to break a clean sweat
The regret has grown unstoppable.
Count the ways that I’ve failed
Should I try to endorse the caged animal, vegetable, or mineral?
Speak to the pampered victim class A
Speak to mountain calm
Speak to calling, the vision board psychic
The Prozac-laced cleric, the hayseed growing natural
Fade to black, exit stage left
Don’t mind the drunk critic, or lanky tech professional
Am I digging a grave?
Why am I trying to save graffiti prophets and trailer park confessionals?
Peel back the thoughts or circle the drain
Oh, I tried to feel it, oh, I tried to feel it.
Icing my bad dreams, screensaver beach scenes, heckling heroes and stoics
The tabloid’s going rational.
Mark up a grid, paper mache, with tin foil helmets and bourbon first aid
I’m hedging bets, with idols I’ve met, bribing my gas tank
Stealing international.
