lyrics

I hear a crack
A fidelity that’s flinching
A broken back
From bowing down to virtue

So I’ve been cast (as a)
Sherriff at my own lynching
And old habits past
Have slipped into the future

I’d prefer to do what’s right
Yeah, I’ll pick that fight
But I’ve been smoking at night
Ohh

I’m jerkin’ knees
And dubious decisions
Portend defeat
And may map out the difference…

…Between a life
Of ease or life in prison
(My) mind’s out of sight
Oh logic, stop this advance and

Light the crevices that lurk
Pay the debt I shirk
Cause’ now I’m drinking at work
Ohh

I try hard to act serene
But I’m altering routines
I laugh a lot. I laugh it off

I excel at nonchalant
Though I fear the things I want
I blow it off. Oh knock it off.

I coax the truth from
Words of double meaning
I curse my youth
My fake career’s careening

Impulse blurs the dark with light
And makes me think “I might”
While I’m not sleeping at night
Ohh
