lyrics

He takes of his dress and combs his hair which looks a mess
Stains his face from ear to ear then cooks a meal and has a beer
Says he works but drives around and doesn’t stop till he breaks down
Lights one up to catch his breath still feels a tightness in his chest

But it don’t seem so ideal to change your name
Or force a way to stay in frame
Like floral pattern paper walls that fade

He lies in the face a caked expression of disgrace
Shows his teeth but bites his tongue and never tried to hurt no one
Always loved and always knew but honey it’s not about you
The world looks big when it feels small that doesn’t make much sense at all

But it don’t seem so ideal to change your name
Or force a way to stay in frame
Like floral pattern paper walls that fade

The sun never gets to watch itself set
The sun never gets to watch itself set
The sun never gets to watch itself set
The sun never gets to watch itself set
