lyrics

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
