Great Auks - Ao

I was bleeding, I was bruised
Hard sunlight beat down on me
Untouched and unamused
But guess that's what it takes to be
A prepubescent sage
Self-styled, self-centered
Too enthralled with fits of rage
Till I met, till I met you
They'd watch as this basket case
Cut limbs off to spite his face
Too proud to ever admit
It felt like, it felt like
A melody shamelessly spun from another's regret
You were kind to me
I didn't know how to be that yet
Picture this: a sunken stage
Its old heroes have won again
Their fleeting golden age is
Resplendent, so gauche
And then they try to drag you in
So awful not to possess
Their perfect lives and skin
So hard to not make a mess
So hard to not make a scene
I was right but I was mean
Too pissed to ever admit
It felt like, it felt like
A melody achingly sung for a broken cassette
You were kind to me
I didn't know how to be that yet
So throw your hands up and emasculate the man
Life's a senseless slapstick freefall
You should take it while you can
That's what I get I guess for following my heart
Everything just falls away
Yeah, everything just falls ...
Midnight on the overpass
In search of things to defy
Picked up a shard of glass
And raised it to split the sky
Some frantic act of fate
Lurched past me all frozen blue
He said it's not too late
I said yeah? Well fuck you too
I'm bitter more than I should
And I'm better but still not good
Too scared to ever admit
It felt like, it felt like shit
