"Old Sweat" is a bonus track for The Keys' 8th full-length album "You Can't Beat Me If I'm Not Playing", which was recorded in the Winter of 2013 in Wales and soon-to-be-released.

lyrics

these days I could settle with an average love
but I scare women away as if I was a perv’
the rain rifles on the roof and sounds like an applause
a praise for a victory that I do not deserve

somehow these mundane events entertain me enough
to not fall asleep at the wheel of my life
oh, I long for the amazon who shall call my bluff
with eyes like planets and fingers like knives

who said that we all have a dream in common
daily I wake up in sweat with nightmares of my own
but my boss likes to say that I had it coming
with all that time spent working on a poem

I’m left to wonder if I can do better than others
and better than the other me that I used to be
in the Us of A (in the United K), people call each other brothers
as fake as it sounds, it feels good to me
