Gasping & Gaunt (screwed)

from Baba Slownya by Baba Sonya

/

lyrics

Although we conquered doubt, a fear might always stay
Inside ourselves preserving ego for a rainy day
A loneliness that sets in as we push away
The work we do and ones we love until we dissipate

I know the things that you say are not the things that I want
To hear but I keep drilling til there's a problem to flaunt
To get red in the face searching for saviors to hate
To keep us ready and willing until we're gasping and gaunt

I know we'll talk about the future anyway
Never second-guessing anyone who calls your name
A questioning without a greeting written in shame
A longing to repair since the precedent was made but

I know the things that you say are not the things that I want
To hear but I keep drilling til there's a problem to flaunt
To get red in the face looking for saviors to hate
To keep us ready and willing until we're gasping and gaunt

I won't always see the things spelled out for me
Whether I stay or go or feel uncomfortable
Loneliness it takes a lot out of its captor
Regardless if it knows what it's after
