Lose The Keys

(albüm: Everything Is Alive - 2023)

Lose the keys, the marbles, lose a parent
Lose the count, lose the plot
It's the losing, it's the losing that counts
Is it not

Don't take it easy, don't take yes for an answer
Put it all on under the hammer
Ball it up and into the tightest fist
Is this even, is this it

I've been around the bend I've been
Taking any way to weigh myself down
But I could take a win right now

I'm the same as I ever was, same as I ever will be
Goddamn canonical me
A buoy in the ocean of eyes unclosed
Every headline is a footnote

I've been around the bend I've been
Taking any way to weigh myself down
I've been around the bend I've been
I've tried a million times to tie myself down
But I would take a win right now

Sleep it off in a lost and love-made state
Don't we thrill and thrill to escalate
Am I still the cat wrapped around the scratcher
Ready now and ready after

I've been around the bend I've been
Taking any way to weigh myself down
I've been around the bend I've been
I've tried a million times to tie myself down
But I would take a win right now
