Recorded September 2020- November 2021 at Studio Krug
lyrics
Memories like film unrolling
Between my callused fingertips
Images without definition
Some kind of life this is
Pitiful and shivering
A voice hardly whispering
Begs the forgiveness of each passerby
Not a simple epithet
But far too easy to forget
Not the truth, but not a lie
Tell me what’s my motivation
To go on living the way that I do
Smiling and shaking hands while I’m out on the town
Just a corpse doused in perfume
Singing to an empty room
The chorus of a wordless tune
Too lost to care and too scared to try
Is there nowhere left to turn
Feel my eyes begin to burn
My mind is a prison I’m trapped inside
I remember
Breakups and letdowns and
Fall-outs and hanging around to try
Try to understand
Got my hands on the future but
I may never see it ‘cause I’m
Too afraid to be the man I am
Memories like film unrolling
Between my callused fingertips
Images without definition
Some kind of life this is
