Grim Indiana - Defeatist lyrics

There's a caution in those eyes An age I've never seen A hatred in his life I swear that won't be me Am I an ember in the warm hearth? Destined to shine brighter till I burn out? I think I'm falling out of love with the idea of playing a part In the protocols and duties that have stolen my heart from its proper place It's locked anyway And with my half baked motivations I'm a sedentary animal Forever expectant for invitation There's a caution in those eyes An age I've never seen A hatred in his life I swear that won't be me All but an ember in the warm hearth Destined to shine brighter till I burn out I'm falling out of love with the idea of playing a part In the protocols and duties that have stolen my heart from it's proper place Every Tuesday night when I'm feeling blue Gathering dust in the sheets Staring up at the roof I'll tell myself that I've done enough Or I'm too low to try and keep myself Moving and chipping away At the 9 to 5 sledge that I'll grow to Hate
