about

Written in Fall and Winter 2014, when life was uncertain

lyrics

I'm not particularly good at articulating
And this ordinary night's not quite amazing
I fall in slow
And never get the chance to see

I've made a mess of
I've made a mess of me
It's got me feeling
A little empty
I fall so hard
In a way that I never see
I fill with doubt in everything I mean

But you're stuck in my head like a good song
Can't tell if it's been there all along
I've thought again, so I might be wrong, but
I've got no flowers for you

I've never been one for participating
And this ordinary life's not quite amazing
My feet of lead
Have dragged me to the bottom of the sea

I'd talk it out if it ever came to me
With some distance, things seem so easy
I hold my tongue
Since I don't know how to speak
My sense of self is another sad casualty

But you're stuck in my head like a good song
I can't tell if it's been there all along
I've thought again, so I might be wrong, but
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you

I'm never gonna claim to be one in a million
Or I know what I'm doing, it's a mystery
But I've thought and I've thought and I've thought it over
And the next step forward's not clear to me

But I'm so fucking done with ironic detachment
I'm gonna wear my heart out on my sleeve
With my drop-down mask finally out of the picture
It'll help me figure out what it means to me

You're stuck in my head like a good song
I can't tell if it's been there all along
And I've thought again, so I could be wrong, but
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you
I've got no flowers for you
