[Verse 1]
Some birds just sit useless, like fists
I wrestle on TV but no one ever lets me win
I lean on the wall like a broom
Confused by the scope of it all
Any fool can tell the truth
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And no, I don't think I should
Add one to the sum
Of all that you fear
[Chorus]
I’d love to take you down
And leave you there
[Verse 2]
In my window, I have a twin
I look out, he looks in
He has a point, I applaud
My goodness, my God
Is it my fault the countrysides
Are so full of suicide?
I break bricks with my heart
Only a fool would call it art
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And no, I don't think that I should
Be one of the sum
Of all that you fear
[Chorus]
I'd love to take you down
And leave you there
I’d love to take you down
And leave you there
[Verse 3]
So why fuss, why not bend
Like a nail, hammered in?
Oh, times are tough
If I recall, oh, it ain't easy
No, not at all
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And no, I don't think I should
Complete the sum
Of all that you fear
[Chorus]
I'd love to take you down
And leave you there
[Outro]
I'd love to take you down
Down and leave you there

This is me trying to be more direct about feeling helpless and not knowing what to do with my anger these days. I hope it doesn’t come off as cynical though. It’s a pretty dark period, but it’s worth the effort to care and to believe. I hope that’s the part of the record that comes through the most....
