Brass Beam (demo) Songtext
von Waxahatchee

I took a pill, I went to sleep for the first time in weeks
You kept me up with all your manic energy
I had to go, I put it out just like a cigarette
I′d never be a girl you'd like, or trust, or you′d respect

When I think about it, I wanna punch the wall
When I remember everything
I wonder if I'll always feel small

You look for me in the broken glass and styrofoam
Painting yourself as a sufferer, a stepping stone
You work real hard to herd your friends into a gallery
Narcissistic injury disguised as masterpiece


I just wanna run, yeah, I don't wanna fight
I just want to sing my songs
And sleep through the night

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

I endured your criticism, self-loathing, and all your doubt
I held you up above myself, trying to ride it out
I got lost in your rendition of reality
All my offering rendered boring hyperbole

Couldn′t see the sun from there, just a beam
I thought it would never come out, yeah
I had to

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
