Songtext zu 'Drinking Song For The Socially Anxious' von The Amazing Devil

In the back of a cab like a puppet with no strings
Untangling my headphones
'Cause sometimes they're the only thing
That keeps my head in place
Keeps my head in place

Arriving at the door, I hope to God I'm not the first
My heart is tearing pages
From that funny story I rehearsed
And I know I won't be long
'Cause I know I don't belong

'Cause though my jokes are my armour
And my kindness is my sword
The party swirls around me in a dress I can't afford
And I do my best to breathe
But they're stealing all the air

And the hum from the fridge'll
Sing me soft little vigils
As all my steps too far keep telling me
This is who you are, I should go home
I'm not lonely, just like being on my own

And I'll sing silence
And ask my glass of wine for guidance
I might not make it tonight

And I'll speak with my eyes
You'll think I'm weird, one sympathizes
I might not make it tonight

Because I don't find this easy like you
Gonna go home and show my cat some memes
'Cause he's awesome like me
Like me

Now I'm lying on a bed full of coats
Trying desperately to cope
When you open up the door, say something stupid like
You're lying on some coats, I say, I know
Just sometimes nice to feel what it's like
To be in someone else's coat

Now we're bursting at the seams
'Cause the noise is crushing us
We think it's so much worse than it seems
But that voice unsaid is rushing us
And in a moment of total rapture
With every strength I have
I ask if you play D&D

And your face lights up like you've woken up
From this endless fucking nightmare
Of pretending this is you
This is us, this is me and this how we're meant to be
But your smile tells me I'm safe
And that voice unspoken's heard
'Cause if God make us all in his image
Then God's a fucking nerd

And I'll sing silence
And ask my glass of wine for guidance
I might not make it tonight

And I'll speak with my eyes
You think I'm neat, I'm not surprised
That I might not make it tonight

Because I don't find this easy like you
Gonna go home and dress my cat up like Batman
'Cause he's awesome like me

And I'll sing silence (and I don't)
And ask my glass of wine for guidance (find this)
I might not make it tonight (easy, like you)
Gonna go home and tell my cat (I'm not lonely)
I'm not lonely if I'm (I just like being on my own)
With you

In the back of a cab, like two puppets with no strings
We share a pair of headphones
'Cause sometimes they're the only thing
That keep our heads in place
Keep our heads in place

I totally messed it up again
Did you?
Like three times, three, three separate places
For fuck's sake
