lyrics

I fight to lose while you expect to win
it's not half as fun as you'd think
I fight to lose while you just grin and grin
I'd do it all again in a heartbeat

making friends and enemies and now I'm sick of talking
you can ask me to believe, but I won't just keep walking

oh I'm so lonely, oh God I've been so lonely
all the days of my life and after and before
when we're no longer earthlings
I'll come alive in earnest
I've never thought to wonder
what it's like not wanting more
do you also want much more?

I fight to lose because there's no hope for me
aside from a bus ride out of town
I fight to lose because if I tried to win
I might just be the happiest man around

you can get me to believe, but I won't just keep walking
just because I look happy doesn't mean I want to be smiling

oh I'm so lonely, oh God I've been so lonely
all the days of my life and after and before
when we're no longer earthlings
I'll come alive in earnest
I've never thought to wonder
what it's like not wanting more
do you also want much more?

and I have nothing to say to you that I ain't already said
you made this bed, you lie in it, I just wanna raise my head
and God Himself said to me "son, you're just sick in the head"
I'd rather be right off this world, in the black and in the red

oh I'm so lonely, oh God I've been so lonely
all the days of my life and all the nights before
when we're no longer earthlings
I'll come alive in earnest
I've never thought to wonder
what it's like not wanting more
oh I'm so lonely, oh god I've been so lonely
all the days of my life and all the nights before

I make a somewhat messy chimera of bedroom pop/chamber pop/alternative/folktronica. Hope it makes you feel something. I also make music with my sibling under the name Charlemagne's Angels, check us out!
