Lyrics Sympathy Vote - The Flatliners

Sympathy Vote

Can you feel how fast my heart’s beating?
I can’t slow this thing down man
My mind it races but never wins, just like the lesser twin
My friends must all know by now
I’m spent like a bridesmaid alone in her skin
I know I’m not there in person
But I’m worth the long distance
And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes:
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote
Can’t we all be just a bit fleeting?
What you say, what you’re believing in
Formulate a stance in your tiny little expert opinion
Then turn the page and wonder
When did we age so gracelessly?
Feel our fabric fade and pull apart thread by thread
And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes:
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote
Can you feel how fast my heart’s beating?
I can’t slow this thing down man
My mind it races
And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes:
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote
My friends, they all know by now I’m spent
Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin
I know I’m not there in person
But I’m worth the long distance
Can you feel how fast my heart’s beating?
I can’t slow this thing down man
My mind it races but it never wins
