Lyrics The excess Dan Andriano

 755

The excess


Drained of all the excess
Start slipping through a crack
Showing up to work late
Slippin' out to take one back
You get blind and happy and a little banged up
Falling down in the alleyway
Pockets picked out clean
I couldn't thank them for not waking me

Never mind never mind I don't mind
Told myself no friends, no allies

You either do
Or you don't
Me I can't do anything
Without doing everything else first
You get tired of lying about the little mistakes
Forego all the pageantry
No one's ever handed you a script
Now they judge your delivery

Never mind, never mind

This way seems further than the rest
The ground is so far from forgiving
That shortcut was short of living
I hear what you say how back in the day
I know you got torn apart
Picking up the pieces is too hard

And I hate feeling like you wish
That you could wake up somewhere else
If you could just get some sleep
Grind out some forgotten dream
Scratch through one more day
Meantime we're just dulling down our senses
Just sharpening our teeth

This way seems further than the rest
The ground is so far from forgiving
That shortcut was short of living
I hear what you say how back in the day
I know you got torn apart
Picking up the pieces is too hard

This way seems further than the rest
The ground is so far from forgiving
That shortcut was short of living
I hear what you say how back in the day
I know you got torn apart
Picking up the pieces is too hard

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE EXCESS of DAN ANDRIANO is also present in the album Dear darkness (2022)
