Lies By Musicians

There’s an audience of cars before me waiting for me to deliver my final line in a nonsense radio
play
There’s an audience of laughing jeering faces
Everywhere I look
And what else should I say
Having a body is embarrassing isn’t it
The journalists are having a field day with it
I’ll ride the infinite looping bus
Travel the ferry back and forth
Just to look over the water and say I don’t get it
They’re all just lies by musicians
You painted this picture but once it’s done it’s not yours
Reflect and invert something til you don’t know it anymore
The picture is the picture but are the words to the song
The same to me as I’m singing it if you’re singing along
And alone or with my friends I will take your art back
We will become the art it doesn’t matter what stage you’re at
You are no longer the person you say you are in your songs
We’re those people cause we’re the ones singing along
That's all just lies by musicians
I’m a songwriter so please god forgive me
I’ll sing it out loud I’ll scream it if need be
But as I scream it my voice cracks
Like I’ve found my childhood self for a moment I’ve gone back
To a time before it stopped being fun to be so "mature"
I took so much pride in myself
That I couldn’t be with anyone else
And that's the truth

My songs are never gonna match again
I’ll make it into my own little personal thing
Where every time that I can’t think of what I’m gonna do
I’ll think of you
I swear I’ll think of you
Do you ever have those moments where you realize that you’re real
That you’re actually living and all of the things you do and all the people you know are also living and happening
And you feel so alienated and out of place in that moment
Cause I know I do\
I blew a kiss at your back as you walked away
I know that you didn’t see it but I hope you felt it anyway
Anywho
I can kick the can uphill but I can’t let that put me down
I can’t fall if I grab onto whatever’s around
And I hope that you won’t fall down with me
I’m not special no matter how hard I try
But you’re special to me
But you’re special to me
I’m not special no matter how hard I try
But you’re special to me
But you’re special to me
I’m not special no matter how hard I try
But you’re special to me
But you’re special to me
I’m not special no matter how hard I try
But you’re special to me
But you’re special to me

i’ve realized that all the things i hate in other people are things that i do
and i don’t know what that says about me or you
there is comfort in silence in acts of violence
and a strange presentation of the way we want that
if i die will people listen to this
if you die will i have the privilege of being exploited
don’t tell anyone i wrote my name
on the wall in invisible ink
of my old house just days before we left
how dare you be out with your friends
how dare you not be sleeping in bed
how dare you present a perfect framing of yourself
i’m not even as good as my own word
i’m only as good as somebody else’s
and how i let it determine my whole future
“be above it” i can’t be above it
i can’t go up there and be me
i can’t be above it
because i can’t stop looking down at my feet
i’m so tired of maybe’s but it’s better than being lonely
and people being out in the sunshine without me
because i’m not the captain i’m just along for the ride
because i’m not the captain i’m just along for the ride
i might not be completely happy with myself
but i’m still happy with everyone else around me
mostly
and you better not take that away from me at all
