we2assume2many2roles Songtext
von Lauren Auder

Sitting in the back of a taxi car and I don′t where I'm at
But it can′t be far, just take me home
And the driver swears and mumbles out words
That I must've misheard, and mistaken for a quote
And it's not that I doubt that these things leave his mouth
But what seemed so profound was, "We assume many roles"

If today I was haunted
Tomorrow I′ll be free
And I could get all I wanted
And still feel my lungs tighten and seize


And I get back to bed, put my head by your head
And you′ll tell me you're scared
And I′ll tell you where I've been
And you′d kiss me slow, take my heart out to show
Keep my hands down low, give each other what we need
A big cat and its prey, daughters given away
I mean, all this to say we should give up on our greed
Greed

And if today I was haunted
Tomorrow I'll be free
And I could get all I wanted
And still feel my lungs tighten and seize

And if today I was haunted
Tomorrow I′ll be free
'Cause I could get all I wanted
And still feel my lungs tighten and seize
