Lyrics
To have lived is not enough
I have to talk about it in all these songs
At some point I found the time to get my feelings organized
And cut up into small bites I will plead with you to chew
As if my pain somehow compels you
But if you've got an ear to bend
Buddy, I've got yarn to spin
What a dipshit to assume
That out of everyone, the world somehow owes you
Discarding everything that's outside of hour sightlines
Citing your own empathy-related anxiety
Refusing to admit that maybe
We are a pearl of time lost in the crosstalk
The death knell for the open frame of mind
This is our selfish masochistic psychic trauma
Ask me no more questions and I'll tell you no more lies
Imagine if the time you spent
Earned you something better than a river too shallow to drown in
Take it from anyone, your pain don't entitle you to nothing
