From the recording Harrison Gesser Can't Sit Still
Lyrics
as the world fell apart
i grabbed a piece of it
i stayed up til 3
i was defeated
as i set many alarms
i slept through all of them
even though my dreams crash and burn
when i wake up it ain’t so bad
i’m happy with a lot of complaints
i smile to hide my face
and stare to blind my gaze
my smiles are born where my tears come from
my laughs choke the earth when i’m undone
it was august for many months
as the glass cups drank themselves
cursed out my phone threw it around
then smiled and laid myself down
as i picked stones to throw
i was gracious enough to throw em small
as i realize the people i’ve lost
are the memories i keep most of all
i’m happy with a lot of complaints
i smile to hide my face
and stare to blind my gaze
my smiles are born where my tears come from
my laughs choke the earth when i’m undone
