lyrics

Line Going Out the Door
and this world is shit
but you're stuck in it
don't go along
don't go along
it's so much better
living in your song
it'll reach them
when they need it most
probably right
as you become a ghost

you never know
how far you've come
if you could just
see the beginning
it's so much more
than enough
just to know
you really care

I'm the quitter
always running inside
whenever it gets too real
for this method actor

lost in the role of
a movie
that never
sees the light of day
you can't even
explain it
for me to fake

there ain't no drug
strong enough
to break me
the way I need it to
with
out
stealing my soul
there ain't nothing
here to fix
it's real
it's real as
high
it's me
this world
is mostly pain
please be kind
you're still the one
that can bring me
back

this world's ok
sure there's lots
I'd change
but at least
I'm healthy enough
to be loud
and complain
while some folks
are so darn good
leave ya feelin'
like a humble jerk

love
never dies
it's not the same
for the will
to fight
doing the right thing
is hardly ever
doing the thing
that feels all nice

I'm the quitter
disappearing
from the stage
when the magic
dissipates
and they're no
longer

this illusionist
so disillusioned
with all of this
been peeping
behind the curtain
draped
in uncertain

there
ain't no drug
strong enough
to break me
the way I need
it to
with
out
stealing my soul
there ain't
nothing
here to fix
it's real as
real
as high
it's me
this world
is mostly pain
please
be kind
you're still the one
that can
bring me
back

this world is great
but you can't stay
there's a line
going out the door
and we all
know what for
since we're
already late
fall in love
while we wait

about

High Pony Brooklyn, New York

Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
