It was slower than i thought it was gonna be
But somehow sadness still got the best of me
Caught me with my pants down Caught me with my heart hanging out
And in the moment that i owed an apology
I went down to my pockets came up empty
I guess ill have to pay for this in blood Man i hope i still have enough
no
I have nothing to give any more
Nothing washing ashore
No man's junk or treasure
I've dug deep and all I see is sand
And Even that slips through my hands
Before i can measure
Just how much is gone
How to do you measure just how much is gone?
So singing praise of gratitude’s gonna help you out
And remind you that you’ve got more than loads of doubt
But You can only try so long Before you give up on a song
I paint a ||picture of despair for my friends and foes
But I just ||scare em with it being too on the nose
cos with abstract art don’t you know You gotta bring your own shit to the show
And
Chorus
You’re too tired to hear me out… Too tired to hear me out
But can you see me? I’m standing right here
Come on and have a look cos You can’t learn this in a book
Just take me by the hand will make love appear
I can’t do this alone so let’s make love appear
Chorus

"Chris Q. Murphy writes and sings cosmic American music about urban sprawl, suburban blight, and the victors and victims
therein - yet somehow manages to be quite funny and inviting while doing so."
