NEEDLES

Yes, they’re gonna squeeze you like a lime wedge
On a dollar beer night
Bleed your pool of precious moments dry.
Push you ‘til you’re hanging from a high ledge
Where nothing seems to feel right
When they’re coming at you from all sides.

I try to hold on what’s right next to me
Stick through ‘til the end
Managing my expectations.
Better days more myth than memory,
It’s easy to pretend
We are but a symptom, not the cause.

Pre:
Maybe you’ll explain,
Why does it have to be all
Death or glory?
I can’t understand it for you
That would be
A different story

Chorus:
Every day above ground is a good day
Stepping over the pins and needles
Along the way.

Seems the dumb and dangerous and tragic
Swallowed a delusion
Sold by braggarts and loudmouthed buffoons.
Rustled up a faded flag like magic,
Fed us an illusion,
Half the masses dancing to their tune.

Every day’s a brand new test for me
Hope it never ends
In some golden age of not so long ago.
While they tried to make new enemies,
We were making friends
Onwards is the only way we know.

Pre.
Chorus.

And there is never gonna be an easy way.
You’re gonna be
Stepping over more pins and needles
Every single day.
