Instransit - The Lawrence Arms

I can’t connect to this sacred object

The bar was open but for me the bar was closing

I like to suffer in a silent way

I can’t get through the days without a glaze across the face

You’re so smart and witty

And funny and pretty and skinny

But tonight I don’t feel right

I can’t wait until I’m back in the city

A lonely rage

The hunger is the meanest cage

A lonely rage

The hunger is the meanest cage

I felt like we were at a loss

This is the cost of art, the way you hit me with your grin

And now I’m almost over it

Soon you’ll set me free and raise a flag half-mast

I’m so stupid and speechless and burned-out, sedated and faceless

And sometimes it feels like I don’t even exist in this place

I’m momentum in transit, alive in the rhythms of movement

It’s when I stop and start thinking that I realize all the people I’m missing
