Cutting Corners

(album: Inside Every Fig Is A Dead Wasp - 2021)

I think I saw your face on the TV
It's been some time since we last spoke
You're looking like me

Now I'm trying to find words that will not offend
Knowing you that'll be something I could never do

For once, I can agree
If I fell I'd scrape my knee
A one-way street with two lanes
A moment's just gone to waste

It's getting old now
A tennis match of silence
A bitter heart can't go far
I know it cause I tried it

Now I'm trying to find words to write down and send
Yeah, it's been hard enough, let's put this one to rest

For once, I can agree (You're looking at me, I know you want it to change)
This is all beneath our feet (I know you hate me, it's all you speak of these days)
A one-way street with two lanes
A pointless game I still played (I know you won't be here alone)
