Dan Andriano & The Bygones - The Excess lyrics

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
