Eke - We Cut Corners

I’ve been down this corridor before

The one where you can’t face looking anybody in the eye

Just in case they can tell

But if I duck down low

Nobody would even know I’m unwell

If indeed we’re more or less agreed

That less is more

Then perhaps you are the Capitalista I took you for

Erudite on the inside, with an icy exterior

I have damaged delicate tissue

Sympathetic nerves and apathy cells

So I leave my abandonment issues

Out in the wild

To fend for themselves

I’m a lousy lover

I’m a terrible friend

Just let me eke out the rest of my life

'Til it comes to a natural end

I have overdosed on country air

I swear, I couldn’t bear to suck another lungful down

It’s so sickly clean

So I’m moving to the town where

I hope to make it as a human being

I have damaged delicate tissue

Sympathetic nerves and apathy cells

So I leave my abandonment issues

Out in the wild

To fend for themselves

I’m a lousy lover

I’m a terrible friend

Just let me eke out the last of my life

'Til it comes to a natural end
