lyrics

You don’t have to choose between giving up and giving in.
While everyone decides that they just can’t take it anymore,
I’ll be in the basement mixing up the metaphors.

You don’t have to choose between the beautiful lie and the awful truth.
Walking upright is a balancing act
requiring equal parts fiction and fact.

Just say “oh no” for all my misgivings.
We’re going to pay for all this living.

I'm not saying I’m a liar.
I just have to use a list of qualifiers:
kind of, sort of, almost

Aesthetic pursuit
only fools the eye and denies the truth
I’d rather act like the man that I want to be
than act like the man I am.
Is that just the human thing to do?
I can’t tell if that’s the human thing to do.

Look for the border between yourself and the world.
Where does one begin?
Where does one end?
We’re just a little bit of everything.
Are you building yourself
or allowing yourself to be built?
And what do you need to be yourself?
Maybe I’m just aiming for exhaustion.
I don’t want to die with anything left inside.
Got to let it all out until I’m empty.
These are all true lies, all true lies.
Kind of, sort of, almost
