Sympathy Vote

(アルバム： Inviting Light - 2017)

Can you feel how fast my heat's beating?
I can't slow this thing down man.
My mind it races but never wins, just like the lesser twin.
My friends must all know by now I'm spent
Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin.
I know I'm not there in person, but I'm worth the long distance.

And for all we know,
You were a landslide
Bringing victory home.

But the story goes
They had their hands tied
To the sympathy vote.

Can't we all be just a bit fleeting?
What you say, what you're believing in.
Formulate a stance in your tiny little expert opinion.
Then turn the page and wonder when
Did we age so gracelessly?
Feel our fabric fade and pull apart thread by thread.

And for all we know,
You were a landslide
Bringing victory home.

But the story goes
They had their hands tied
To the sympathy vote.

Can you feel how fast my heart's beating?
I can't slow this thing down man.
My mind it races.

And for all we know,
You were a landslide
Bringing victory home.

But the story goes
They had their hands tied
To the sympathy vote.

My friends, they all know by now I'm spent
Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin.
I know I'm not there in person, but I'm worth the long distance.
Can you feel how fast my heart's beating?
I can't slow this thing down man.
My mind it races but it never wins.
