lyrics

Don’t set yourself on fire
Just to keep Someone else warm
Like a sacrificial protest
Of a never ending war
It’s the truth wrapped in desire
When it’s hard to ask for more
It’s a sheep that looks like progress
A wolf dresses like a whore
Tried to call for a cease fire
Don’t know who to speak up for
A little boy that’s feeling depressed
A grown man sleeping on the floor

I got compassion fatigue
and a shoe that just won’t fit
Nicotine dreams
A cigarette I can’t get lit
I got a backup eulogist
on stand by just in case
A short list of people I can’t replace

Found you someone so pretty
Settled for keeping her nearby
The thought of happy makes you dizzy
Back at the starting line
So don’t drown yourself in whiskey
If one or two will do just fine
You don’t want no-ones pity
Just play the roll of the fall guy
Keep saying you’re too busy
Up on your cross to crucify
No one said this would be easy
We’re all trying to scrape by

I got compassion fatigue
And a shoe that just won’t fit
Nicotine dreams
A cigarette I can’t get lit
I got a backup eulogist
On stand by just in case
A short list of people I can’t replace
