lyrics

It’s 7 am and I have nothing to say, countdown the minutes til you motor away
Every action has an equal or opposite reaction you should write that on your hand
We sit so snug in the tension getting angry at things I don’t trust myself to mention
Examining the intricate detail of the stain on the ceiling pleading with you to understand

That I’m not working for the government
I’m not working for the man
I am also scared of everything
I think we should still make plans

You’re here now you’re gone and I watched everything change
I got new sheets my furniture got rearranged and I tattooed a few things on myself
Just cause I am sleeping on new stains doesn’t mean I don’t lie awake with old pains
My new life so big and so empty makes everything I own seem so damn small

I’m not working for the government
I’m not working for the dole
I also want to fix everything
I think I’ll help you stand tall
Push me up against the bedroom wall
And everything is so much better now than before
Why don’t I feel any better than I did before?

Called me to talk about your nightmare
And I wanted to but didn’t care
Called me to talk about yourself again
Called me to talk about yourself
Wanted to tell me about your dreams
And the inconvenience of mine
Called me to talk about yourself again
Called me to talk about yourself

I’m not working for the government
I’m not working much at all
I am also scared of everything
I think I’ll help.
