lyrics

I must just be a modern man
full of excuses and processed plants
I've got blood in my sweat and sweat in my hands
I can't trust what I've done with them
My troubles aren't great at all
And yet I feel so small
I get overwhelmed and bled to death
When I hardly bleed at all

I look to the past to help
For I cannot help myself
My future is ugly
My history hangs above me
Which story will be the first to fall?

I wish that I could hop a train
wish that traveling eased my brain
But I worry that if I don't catch the wrong plane
There's no use in remembering my name

It sure is a silly little thought
But my ego weighs a lot
I could carry it around
Until I swim and drown
But when I die who gets what I bought?

And who am I to be? What kind of people are we? I had hopes and ambitions but then made the kitchen
Now I'm staring into the sink.
I'm staring into the sink.
Some with no drop to drink and yet all I think of is that if God is love does love exist in me?

Forgive me, forgive me please
I know not what I think
I guess what I mean was--
No fuck it I'll shut up.
I'll try my best not to speak
