Lyrics

Day one has just begun
I'm burnt, broken, dazed and numb
Beginnings feel more like ends
Friends feel less and less like friends
Shake, shake, shake, shake off another dumb mistake
I'm stupider than you, you can see it in my face
See it in my sloping brow and forehead
I'm missing all the misses 'cause I'm stone dead
We're fuck ups and perverts and dickweeds and drunks
Drowing in rivers chained into trunks
This new work is awkward, I don't like the lines
I hate all the people with pinpointed eyes

Shake, shake, shake, shake off another dumb mistake
I'm stupider than you, you can see it in my face

Fuck what we say and all that we do
I'm saving myself for something beautifully true
