Deadbeat Shiver

(album: Reader As Detective - 2019)

I'm just a deadbeat shiver
And I need your one last dollar
To get me to the end
Get me to the end

How did I get so broken
And yet I sleep so civil
And yet I can pretend
Yeah I do pretend

I'm just a full time taker
And I need your one last dollar
To get me to the end
Get me to the end

How did I get so broken
And yet I sleep so civil
And yet I can pretend
Yeah I do pretend

How does it cut not deeper again,
When you're fighting for all your fights much deeper in?
And do the words not suffer the longer you go?

I'm just a deadbeat shiver
And I need your one last dollar
To get me to the end
Get me to the end

How did I get so broken
And yet I sleep so civil
And yet I can pretend
Yeah I do pretend

How does it cut not deeper again,
When you're fighting for all your fights much deeper in?
And do the words not suffer the longer you go?
