lyrics

jhimm, written 2007

i'm sloughing off the accretions of time
troubled by the shape i'm in
whittling down this chip on my shoulder
opportunities are wearing thin
i've betrayed the instrument i was made to be
i think it's time to take one on the chin
my wings are clipped, my lips are sealed
i can't help wondering when my ship is coming in

its too late to take it back,
but even if we could i'm sure
we'd hang ourselves with the same slack,
sometimes i think that we should

can't see if we're on the right track,
trees in front of the wood,
blind our eyes to the burning flack,
i wonder if it does any good

tell me to my face
before i fade away

i'm just a docetic dreamer, hung out to bleed
not trying to grab the glory and power
not trying to change your heart or change your mind
not trying to be the man of the hour

its too late to take it back,
but even if we could i'm sure
we'd hang ourselves with the same slack,
sometimes i think that we should

tell me to my face
before i fade away
why don't you
