lyrics

Daylight burns my eyes
The warmer months have passed me by
But this time round I’m certain I
Will not have lived another year in vein
She was just a helping hand
And I was just a broken man
Living off of broken land
Where no one cared to speak my name
She tells me ‘darkness needn’t come’
Feeds me zinc and magnesium
I tilt my head and swallow ‘til
Realisation chases her away
And when she said ‘be free’
What she really meant was ‘see
If you can make it on your own’
I don’t know why you’d sell
Me life insurance when it’s pretty clear that I am not too well
And the policy suggests
I’m valued higher in death than in the sorry life I’ve lead
I am just a salesman
You want self respect today man?
Every conversation is greeted
Just like every other call

Seldom do my thoughts digress
Beyond the hope of tenderness
No, I don't believe in much;
A fearful thing, to love what death can touch
I don’t know why you’d sell
Me life insurance when it’s pretty clear that I am not too well
And the policy suggests
I’m valued higher in death than in the sorry life I’ve lead

I don't hear a lot of this kind of music, gives me ,loose Sonic Youth vibes. Everything about it is cool, like too cool for school cool. I want to skip class and spray paint an alley with these people. Kyle Zarnoch
