lyrics

out of the shadows and off to the races
should be easy but it ain’t
like the guy who’s got to paint
the Great Wall of China on a daily basis
or sometimes like swimming in sand:
oxygen is running low
someone offers their backhoe, but no,
you dig your own hole

it’s so hard, sometimes,
to be among people
it’s so hard, sometimes, not to despair
but i’m trying hard to care

i didn’t make Monday, and next thing i knew
it was the next afternoon
it was never opportune to take up the struggle
i left the original in the machine
before it went out for repair
i was hoping we could spare
the awkward questions and the stares

my entire life was based on this true story
must you publicly count the silverware?
still i’m trying hard to care—
