lyrics

so you try on this hat they call concession
try to make your utmost best impression
i had no idea just how much deception
what's involved in my casual connection

pull down down the walls
pull down these walls so i can breathe
what's underneath this filigree

these materials help me get my thinking done
take a wrecking crew to see what i've become
when the mike smells like beer future's so unclear
some call it sad but at least it's picturesque

these are days for framing your own story
these are days for taking inventory
so you cling to the truth to find a place to stand
do what you do or baby just what you can
