lyrics

Pick me up and take me for a ride.
Flip me over like a 45.
Drag me tumbling through the riptide.
I need to look the way I feel tonight —

Fucked up and twisting on my axis and
Iinhaling lies to find the truth in them.
Strung out on pills that feel like heroin.
Man, I’m no different than you.

Lit up like gods or barely getting by.
Concealing secrets from our darker sides.
Pure demand wrapped up in infinite supply.
Man, I can’t stop it — how bout you?
We are no different.

From West Virginia to the Golden Coast.
Thin-skinned and howling on the radio.
No single one of us immune.
Who’s got you certain of the world you know?
Half stitched together, where the seams all show.
No single one of us in tune.

Chorus:
We’re just trying to be
The best beasts we can be,
And find a way to sleep.
Don’t dig too deep.

Hanging on to ships that sailed away.
Pretending things should always be this way.
The future’s coming for you soon.
We’re all so certain of the world we know —
Half stitched together,
Where the seams all show.
No single one of us in tune.

CHORUS

You'll see the best beasts we can be.
