lyrics

I’ve surrounded myself
With elegance
Broke the bank
Just trying to blend in
But every time I try
And speak their language
I just come across
As a little kid

I’m knocking on the door
Of a future
That won’t let us in
Cuz every hand shake
In this city will cost ya
And arm and a leg
And I’m all out of limbs

I’ve been surrounded
By elegance
Let the vultures
Tie knock offs around my neck

They claim they’re going
To lift you up
As they circle high above your head
But they’re really just waiting
To pick apart the dead

I’m knocking on the door
Of a future
That won’t let us in
Cuz every hand shake
In this city will cost ya
And arm and a leg
And I’m all out of limbs
I’m just trying to make something real
Cuz I am so sick of feeling
Just like I’m only

Dead batteries
Empty calories
Just a handful
Of useless things
Like a prayer for the president
Or a letter to your congressman
Just a quarter in a broken machine
