Once Clinging To The Reeds

(album: To Only A Few At First - 2022)

Yo, what's wrong?
Hey!
Is your attention elsewhere?
Infiltration of a one eleven
Feeling rough debonair
Don't stare, is there something sticking out of my eye?
Not a vision or a visionary, but you've got ten times
What we make in a year
Make in a month
Make in a day
Make an hour
Made it up
So we try to make a point of
Telling you once
Telling you twice
Telling you three times and then giving up
When it gets too much

Misconstrued with all the news and
Waiting in the side room
Couldn't stand the sight of you but
I never expected it to have this effect on me
Agreeing with everything so you would shut up
And I can leave
Oh yeah, don't want me to go
All your friends left
And you can't sleep alone
Sounds like a personal problem to me
If you can't understand my stance and where I'm at then please leave

Let me go again (I can't, I can't)
I still remember
Don't dismember them
It's systematic

So don't stall!
Quick!
It's out of focus, unclear!
You got the transmission of a vintage Chevy
Maintenance and repair
Don't care if there's something about me you despise
Not a premonition mystic fortune teller
Fabricate all the lies
That we say in a day
Say in a week
Say in a month
Say a year and back it up
So we try to make a point of
Telling you thrice
Telling you twice
Telling you once more then giving up
When it gets too much

The wound is still a threat
Let's see what we have done
The separated flesh
Let's sow it up once more

I never expected it to have this effect on me
Agreeing with everything so you would shut and I can leave
Oh yeah, don't want me to go
All your friends left and you can't sleep alone
Sounds like everyone's rhetoric to me
If you can't bring your own originality then please leave

Let me go again (I can't, I can't)
I still remember (doormat, doormat)
Don't dismember them
It's systematic

Yo, what's wrong?
Hey!
Is your attention elsewhere?
Infiltration of a one eleven
Feeling rough debonair
Don't stare, is there something sticking out of my eye?
Not a vision or a visionary, but you've got ten times
What we make in a year
Make in a month
Make in a day
Make an hour
Made it up
So we try to make a point
Of telling you once
Telling you twice
Telling you three times and then giving up
When it gets too much
