Wye Oak - The Instrument lyrics

Suffering i remember suffering
Feeling heat and then the lack of it
But not so much what the difference is

I was there you were there and I was there
I can't hold onto my anger
Though, sometimes it would do me good

Oh, look away un-animate
You only live to be seen as such
You want it too much

Picture me the idea of me anyway
The instrument you once ignored
It is moving of it's own accord

Back and forth soul without a body walks
It sees love and it sees witnesses
But not so much what the difference is

And if this is the great release
I fear I am a rule abider
Life unfolds immune to favor
But, I know the day, and I know the hour

Oh, look away un-animate
You only live to be seen as such
You want it too much
