about

No Victories outtake, 2020

lyrics

little rodent on a wheel
superhero on a timer
feel no pressure rise
until my drive expires
you wonder when I'll tire

maybe I should have burned out
a little faster
don the crown of fools
a righteous bastard
I find no peace in it

can't tell if it's fabric or blood
but I'm not sounding alarms
I'm not awaiting a flood
there should be cause for concern
but for now I'm burned
and too fogged up to learn

expertise is plenty
but overshadowed by character
there's a lot on my plate
that I'm ready to take
before they throw me back as a court jester
when I'm gone, don't remember me

and as the curtain calls
and the actress falls
I'm not a leading man
what is there left to embrace
than empty lives to chase
with these holes in my hands?
