lyrics

I just can’t find someone to talk to
so I have to settle with people to drink with
hear how they feel and what they do (« for a living! »)
and what a shame it all is

we laugh at things that we can’t understand
and cry ‘bout stuff that we know too well
oh, failure then feels so close at hand
and suicide is not that tough of a sell

we’d stay up late to discuss death
which left us liking life a little more
a safe distance from their whisky breath
I’d talk until my jaw was sore

with saliva we’d quench our thirst
for knowledge on what it’s all for
one said: « life seems unfair at first
but it is harmless at its core »

I’m dying… to know… who’s running… the show…

now the wind blows through my saxophone
playing a B-flat that sounds so eerie
quite like the ring of the telephone
everytime they hang up on me

all healthy options have disappeared
I’m left to face who and what I feared
go where my fingers are leading me
write all my songs in the minor key

had I known then what I know now…
