lyrics

i’ve got a runner’s heart
from worrying all the time
there’s not an inch of my skin
that doesn’t burn in fluorescent light
but everybody’s sorting out their pain
to make for better company
and when i taste my blood
it’s just a little less bitter than it used to be

what a mystery

is your life just happening to you?
you don’t really want control do you?
you know losing doesn’t hurt like it used to
i should’ve gotten old sooner

i’ve got a hunter’s eye
that only works there’s faults to find
you’ve got a gardener’s touch
and i’m corrupting the whole damn vine
and all the horoscopes are talking trash
i think my brain’s in retrograde
so when i do my best
it’s like i’m fighting a planetary stalemate

but i’m feeling great

is your life just happening to you?
you don’t really want control do you?
you know losing doesn’t hurt like it used to
i should’ve gotten old sooner

guess i don’t miss too much
about the people i used to be
they’re all just cynical faces
laid out in rows on a character screen
but every now and then i call one up
to hear them breathe on the other line
i think i hear the call waiting tone
i bet that’s me checking in from the next life

i should answer, right?
