Matilda (Live in Toronto / 2022)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Left in the corner collecting dust Patiently waiting while my fingers rust I was locked in the coffin case Not even on display As you fret, my frets decay You pick up your other, and you strum away I listen from the other room Try to pull you out of tune [Pre-Chorus] Thought I was everything you need I thought at least you'd wanna see it through And I was caught in between Givin' up and callin' out to you Am I comin' through? [Chorus] Now you don't even write the chords down You don't even play me anyhow, anymore Now you just keep crankin' them out Like you're tryin' to numb yourself With all this work, but it's just not workin' out [Verse 2] George and his lover, they gently weep But I don't evеn get to breathe I hardly makе a sound And I'm totally unwound, it's like All of my flaws have become the things That make you wanna destroy something And the reasons you started are lost Now that the feeling has worn off [Pre-Chorus] Thought I was everything you need Thought at least you'd wanna see it through Your voice follows me You sing perfectly out of tune I thought we had more time I thought I could make it up somehow I try to weave between the lines I try to turn myself up loud Can ya hear me now? [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Now you don't even write the chords down You don't even play me anyhow, anymore Now you just keep crankin' them out Like you're tryin' to numb yourself Like I'm just a different drug Somethin' that you took for granted Another love that you abandoned right when It starts to count You don't even write the chords down You don't even play me anyhow 'Cause it's only work, and it's just not workin' out
