lyrics

A little too much alike
We were so self-involved
Gawking at our own parades
A broken vagabond
I know the directory by heart
You're rigid and fixed
I'm a wandering star
You let me hold your purse
I paid a princely sum
You blended in like a Wednesday
I had a crush on everyone
Staging dangerous leaps
Over reflecting pools
Slightly out of step
With the marching band
Wild me running free
Like a caged animal
On hubris and fumes
You were running with the wolves
You let me hold your purse
But you held the strings
Chasing the prized fighter
Throwing punches at the wind
We were the lion and the tiger
The joker and the witch
Catching air
Blackbird fly
We were wasting our breath
Wasting light
But the sun will rise again
And again
And again
Swallow the pill and grind
Under water
Under fire
Don't hold your breath
Fanning old flames
Let sleeping dogs lie
Maybe I kid
Many a truth said in jest
