Brass Beam

Lyrics

I took a pill, I went to sleep for the first time in weeks You kept me up with all your manic energy I had to go, I put it out just like a cigarette I'd never be a girl you'd like or trust or you'd respect When I think about it, I wanna punch the wall When I remember everything, I wonder if I'll always feel small You look for me in the broken glass and Styrofoam Painting yourself as a sufferer, a stepping stone You work real hard to herd your friends into a gallery Narcissistic injury disguised as masterpiece I just wanna run, yeah, I don't wanna fight I just want to sing my songs and sleep through the night I endured your criticism, self-loathing, and all your doubt I held you up above myself trying to ride it out I got lost in your rendition of reality All my offering rendered boring hyperbole I couldn't see the sun from there, just a beam I thought it would never come out, yeah I couldn't see the sun from there, just a beam I thought it would never come out, yeah, I had to leave
