lyrics

Made for Other Things

born with boredom
before depression set in wearing things out
since I was a kid

having a purpose
intensely lived no chocolate left
I ate every bit

you prefer me silent at your side
tried it once worked it several times
after crossing out too many lines
I rewrote the whole thing

just when I needed to feel free
having already copied keys
I’m learning slowly without skill
I was made for other things

I admire your guts
your killer instinct  I sit in a station
with a drunk schizophrenic

and I’m tethered
on the level
really-
ask my brother

as this now
goes on forever
wondering how
we’re not together
