We Are Underused

(álbum: Brighten The Corners - 1997)

Out beyond the call of duty, hold your instincts hostage and stick near me
Let's drink a toast, it's the most I can stand to cry about
The mental energy you wasted on this wedding invitation
Let's thank the host, you've been such a great host, the roast was just so perfectly prepared

Now I know you care
Now I know you care
We are underused
We are underused

Simply put, I want to grow old, dying does not meet my expectations
Let's drink a toast to all those who arrived alive to tell about their struggles in hushed tones around a fire
It's late winter, let's sink the ship, mix out blood, just the tip
A crip is sleeping on the basement stairs

Oh, I know he's there
Oh, I know he's there
We are underused
We are underused

We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
We are underused

We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
We are underused
