about

A funky, jazzy blues-rock vibe, on the edge of empathy.

lyrics

Got my ribbons and bows, satin dreams, pretty pills
I can soften the blows, pay all the bills
Strike a confident pose, but reality still chills me
Hope you'll understand if I need to be alone
Hate the thought of leavin' you out there on your own
Reserves are too low, have to do what I can to fortify my homeland

I know you're comin' from a place that's broken, I feel for you
You crave the comfort of a friendly word spoken
But here's the thing, I'm broken too
Broke in two

Nothin' left to give and not a damn thing new
Just do what I do
Workin' just to live, but I don't work for you
Nothin' left to give and now, I'm broken too

It's not that I don't care, my eyes can see
Hell is everywhere, you won't survive unless you flee
But why you always bringin' your hell here to me?
Breachin' my boundary
Won't be comin' by til I'm bringin' good news,
Quit wonderin' why I'm still singin' the blues
I will try til I die to win and not lose
No time to amuse you

I know you're comin' from a place that's broken, I feel for you
You crave the comfort of a friendly word spoken
But here's the thing, I'm broken too
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Nothin left and not a damn thing new
Just do what I do
Workin' just to live but I don't work for you
Nothin' left to give and now, I'm broken too

Everything I have is not enough for you
What more can I do?
Workin' just to live but I don't work for you
Nothin' left to give and now, I'm broken
