lyrics

i used to think i’d
tan my own rawhide
eat leafs and termites
live out some bold life eeeeeeee

you see me roll strikes
bumpers on both sides
convictions aside
i’m just unfit to survive

oh love am i am i am i an embattled actor
playing camo in the attic of his benefactor
oh god dannit
am i am i am i am i am i
chased down from the branches of a dream life

oh why
can’t i can’t i can’t i be the bloody dagger
plucked proud from the heart of a deadly attacker
tell me am i am i am i just an actor
chased down from the rafters of a dream life

woke up in mid flight
buzzing round lamp light
too bright for small eyes
fuck knows why

losing sight of the bug in a swarm
i pack to leave but you know i’ll come back
to where the friction is nothing but sine waves
singing on the phone

oh love am i am i am i a bedraggled passer
face down in the scraps of an abandoned chapter
oh god dannit
am i am i am i am i am i am i
ripped out from the pages of a dream life

oh why
can’t i can’t i can’t i be the cold commander
struck down in the clammer of a new disaster
tell me
am i am i --- am i just a stander
standing by on the shoulder of a dream life

ooooo

if i can i'll be the banished laughter
burst out from the cracks of a dream life
