lyrics

Who knows what’s best for this ancient, anxious head? I keep slipping into reverse. I keep dipping into dead ends. I keep reading my own thesis. But I want to be around. I just want to be around. So you pick the best years and I’ll try to show up to them. I’m not one to know when to speak out or steer clear, but snake oil salesman I know what you’ve been selling. I’m angry with myself because I let myself get sewn up in your stitch. It’s a poor seam hemmed from a heavy hand, a heavy hand that I got used to. It’s a site I’ve seen before. A pure form, straight line, that’s bent to fit. Well hijacked for cash, there’s no doubt about that. I know enough to know you’re no good at heart. There’s no doubt in my mind that I could never do that, would never do that with you. So snake oil salesman, I’m not buying a thing I just wish you would leave us alone. It’s a cruel joke from a cruel hand you played. I want to be around. We’re all going to stick around, enough to see you out.
