Paperweights And Coffee Stains - Race The Sun

My wallet

It’s only getting lighter

I’ll keep it folded for now

It’s a paper weight

And I’d love to say it’s easier to move

To breathe, to walk

So much weight has been lifted though

Armor holds its value

And I’m always awaiting my cue

I’m always forgetting lines

Say dreams destroy us briefly

Scream like the frustrated

They hide behind the desks

And they’re being held captive

Strangled by the phone lines

Spilling coffee on their best shirt

Lost myself in my subconscious, my old habits

Chewed my nails into rigid saw blades

I’ll clock out one more time

Keep my stomach from my throat

Empty both these cluttered pockets to scour for change

And I’m always awaiting my cue

I’m always forgetting lines

Say dreams destroy us briefly

Scream like the frustrated

They hide behind the desks

And they’re being held captive

Strangled by the phone lines

Spilling coffee on their best shirt

My wallet

It’s only getting lighter

I’ll keep it folded for now

It’s a paper weight

And I’d love to say it’s easier to move

To breathe, to walk

So much weight has been lifted though

Armor holds its value

And I’m always awaiting my cue

I’m always forgetting lines

Say dreams destroy us briefly

Scream like the frustrated

They hide behind the desks

And they’re being held captive

Strangled by the phone lines

Spilling coffee on their best shirt
