Envy On The Coast - Starving Your Friends Lyrics

Envy on the Coast
Lucy Gray
Starving Your Friends
Thanks a lot
I've been disadvantaged from the start
You constrict the veins
Heading straight to my head
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead

I am braindead
Think in strictly in blues and reds
Oh, I'm in enough trouble, man
Oh, man, I'm in trouble again
Cause everyone's ears are watching me
And I never, ever felt this would be
Anything more than a makeshift personal IV

Cause I fall three times as hard
If it's for nothing at all
You all seem twice as tall
As I will ever be
And I feel terribly small
When my head works too hard
When you think with your chest
There's not a thing that you don't see

I'm hardly capable of half the damage
That I would like to do
I could swear that I don't care
But you know I'm too full of shit
To think this through
So look at me
I pray to God
But curse too much to be considered true
I'm just like me
I'm just like me
So who the hell are you?

But a boy (?)
Just like the rest of these things
And I borrow phrases from
Dusty, faded record sleeves
The story is the same
I've just personalized the name
But if it's all you need
Then I'd be more than happy
To confess my sin

Cause I fall three times as hard
If it's for nothing at all
You all seem twice as tall
As I will ever be
And I feel terribly small
When my head works too hard
When you think with your chest
There's not a thing that you don't see

I'm hardly capable of half the damage
That I would like to do
I could swear that I don't care
But you know that I'm too full of shit
To think this through
So look at me
I pray to God
But curse too much to be considered true
I'm just like me
I'm just like me
So who the hell are you?

No, you think you know
But these eyelids are windows
They shut you out of all the things
That I don't want you to know
Now I refuse to tell you once
In the secret I am
Cause you'll find I'm petrified of your eyes

I'm hardly capable of half the damage
That I would like to do
I could swear that I don't care
But you know I'm too full of shit
To think this through
I've read the book
I prayed to God
But curse too much to be considered true
I'm just like me
I'm just like me
