The First Eviction Notice

The First Eviction Notice

Lawrence Arms (The)
(album: Apathy And Exhaustion)

A temple
Corroded.
Eviction
Pending.
Embrace me.
Cold night.
Gray sky.
Streetlight.
Lyrical
Descension.
Attention
Fading.
Breathless, I´m a mess.
Kissless, I´m in distress.

I´m barely breathing.

This crowning anguish.
Locked up nervous reflex.
I´ve got to build up from the inside.

A relapse.
Reflection.
Distorted.
Repression.
Smiling spitefully,
Longing for you to sew up my seams.

I´m barely breathing.

I´ve abandoned old identities,
Skin I couldn´t fit into,
Songs I couldn´t write,
My voice will fade into this starless night.

Can I get much blinder?
Can I kick myself much harder?
Have I accepted this
To torture myself?
You can´t see me.
Have I invented you?

I´m barely breathing.
You´re so easy to believe in.
And it´s so depressing,
That I´m always second guessing,
That I´m always second guessing,
That I´m always second guessing
Myself.
