about

written on my lunch break.
recorded at home in the middle of the night when the house was quiet and the family slept

lyrics

Left it in a hurry
The value placed on worry
Anything to scratch that itch
Love it in the moment
Watching while it’s growing
Deserving nothing that you get
Positions in the mirror
Breaking out the fever
Thinking that they love your laugh
Still expecting something
Everything for nothing
I can’t believe you had to ask
Go ahead I’ll help you pack

What you pray for, some kind of trap door
Or anything to bail you out
Stopped listening, there’s no earning
The benefit of the doubt

Didn’t make you wrestle
I guess it never settled
A hold over from Abilene
Watch it like a voyeur
But the blinds been pulled before you
Log into a healthy scene
Better off with mercy
But you’d rather keep it blurry
Passing on a taste for blood
Handed down from lazy
Justify the crazy
Now you’ve found a perfect love
The kind to help you hold your grudge

I guess it’s time for moving on
