lyrics

I’d love to write a love song,
But the words don’t come free.
Just a thin verbal drip, on condition
Of blunt analysis and irony.

I thought the words would be there if needed.
I thought the words would be there.

Any self-expression fills me with such shame.
Any self-expression leaves my soul constrained by stone.
Any self-expression and I fear I’ve lost some game.
Well, screw the game; I hate playing alone.

A young man, captive to an unlocked room,
Reviewed the rules he’d proposed:
Keep emotion on a precipice, ready to jettison,
Should it leave you feeling overexposed.

I told myself they’d be there if needed.
I told myself they’d be there.

Any self-expression fills me with such shame.
Any self-expression leaves my soul constrained by stone.
Any self-expression and I fear I’ve lost some game.
Well, screw the game; I hate playing alone.

I’ve never written a love song before-
I still haven’t.

Any self-expression fills me with such shame.
Any self-expression leaves my soul weighed down by stone.
Any self-expression and I fear I’ve lost some game.
Well, screw the game; I hate playing alone.

Any self-expression fills me with such shame.
Any self-expression leaves my soul weighed down by stone.
Any self-expression and I fear I’ve lost some game.
Well, screw the game; I hate playing alone.
