lyrics

If I don’t want to go can I just stay home?
But nothing ventured is gained I suppose
So, I go, although everything’s the worst
From small talk to vomit in the dirt
The socially anxious and the social butterflies that fly
Toward the party and the light that blinds

Never mind if I drag behind
In the comfort of a door jamb
Or the emptying of a new can

That some drink so that they don’t feel abashed
For the temerity to dance
To flirt without fear of the crash and the burn
Some drink so they can have some fun
Tighten their grip as they loosen their tongue
Or just to have something to hold onto
As they let go of their diction and inhibition without pause

Never mind if I drag behind
In the distance of insincerity
Or the armour of a false identity
And besides, I won’t spend my time
Hiding my eyes as they gloss over
Nodding my head or shrugging my shoulders
As I’m told some story that just goes nowhere

Never mind if I drag behind
In the rat race of the living
I’m only at ease when I am sleeping
And it’s all right if I waste my time
But I knew that it was over
As the drunk returned to sober on the lawn
