Lyrics Eke - We Cut Corners

Eke

I’ve been down this corridor before
The one where you can’t face looking anybody in the eye
Just in case they can tell
But if I duck down low
Nobody would even know I’m unwell
If indeed we’re more or less agreed
That less is more
Then perhaps you are the Capitalista I took you for
Erudite on the inside, with an icy exterior
I have damaged delicate tissue
Sympathetic nerves and apathy cells
So I leave my abandonment issues
Out in the wild
To fend for themselves
I’m a lousy lover
I’m a terrible friend
Just let me eke out the rest of my life
'Til it comes to a natural end
I have overdosed on country air
I swear, I couldn’t bear to suck another lungful down
It’s so sickly clean
So I’m moving to the town where
I hope to make it as a human being
I have damaged delicate tissue
Sympathetic nerves and apathy cells
So I leave my abandonment issues
Out in the wild
To fend for themselves
I’m a lousy lover
I’m a terrible friend
Just let me eke out the last of my life
'Til it comes to a natural end
