Born Without Bones - Privileges lyrics

I'm eating dinner alone
I'm writing face down on the table
Crossing vowels spilling over consonants
I'm waiting hungry like a drone
For something worth moving for
Why am I so still
So shrill? Why can't I show what I'm made of?

Dirty socks fill my drawers
Empty glasses provide company
I make this mess so I can
Lift my hands for the inclination

I've had enough of the heat
I want to wear my coat again
How can I erase what I have misplaced?
I am so glad that you are not around

I am sleeping alone
To the sound of war drums
And the voice in my head
Speaking in third person

I seem more so like a dream
But I can't get it right
I rewrite over and over and over
Why can't I just fall in your line?
Why can't I just see that light?
Cause, I don't believe in war
Or god or poetic ammunition

I've had enough of the heat
I want to wear my coat again
How can I erase what I have misplaced?
I am so glad that you are not around

I'm so fucking sick of exit signs
Kevin slow down this is my exit
I just want to be no one else but me
Cause, I am too proud to
Take advantage of your privileges

Your privileges i just want to be
No one else but me cause, I am too proud to
Take advantage of your privileges
Your privileges i just want to be
No one else but me cause, I am too proud to
Eat another meal alone
I'm writing face down on the table
Crossing vowels spilling over consonants
