lyrics

You stand you sit you dig a pit you fill it in
You fall you crawl you watch the wall don't move at all
You lay your head down on the bed you sleep a year
Too big for you too much to do you drop your arms

You run you hide "I'm strong!" you lied you live in fear
Your eyes are wide stare at the light a frightened deer
Your armor's thin your tender skin can't take the heat
Your knees they sag you plant the flag you claim defeat

Get off the ground, dry your eyes little boy
Gather your courage now, you have yourself to destroy

You sit alone you watch the phone don’t pick it up
You scan the list all those you miss delete their names
You don't need them not now not then lie to yourself
Deserted island you know how to shove em off

People in need you sit and read no time for them
Some other time some other time you'll help em then
You stand you sit you dig a pit you fill it in
You fall you crawl you watch the wall don't move at all

Get up, wake up, stand up, look up, dry your eyes, grit your teeth, take the knife, gouge out what's you, replace, renew.

about

Isaac Marion Seattle, Washington

I am mostly a writer (Warm Bodies) but sometimes I do music. All the music here is very old and some of it is embarrassing. I will make new sounds soon.
