Graceless Kids

(album: Always Tomorrow - 2020)

My hands are tied on the sidelines
And I know no one's gonna come save me
I guess that I could just keep sitting here
Free fall into imaginary fears
Don't wanna be all they want me to be
I know I said that years ago
And all this time's gone by
And still I'm wondering why I care

All these days gone by
It's still happening
I'm getting further away
From where I used to be

Who am I to keep preaching
To the graceless kids of tomorrow?
They need a hero, not a wreck
I'm just a phony in a floral print dress
I quit drinking so I could stop thinking about
All the shit from years ago
And all this time's gone by
And still I'm wondering why

I am the queen of the graceless kids
I am the queen of the graceless kids
Guess they see something in me
Wish that I could see what they see
I am the queen of the graceless kids
I am the queen of the graceless kids
Guess they see something in me
Wish that I could see what they see

Aren't you sick of trying to force a shift?
I'm sick of watching you do it
The only option is to lay down and surrender
And let them help you through it
Slivers of joy peek through but only when you let them
So why don't you just let them?

I might pretend like I don't care
Most of the time I swear I don't
Oh, on the days where nothing makes sense
Please just remember that I love you the most
I might pretend like I don't care
Most of the time I swear I don't
Oh, on the days where nothing makes sense
Please just remember that I love you the most
