lyrics

I’m shocked both that you came and that the guest list included your name. You nod your head imperceptibly as you hand your coat to me. And you mutter on in an attempt at kindness. But it is only rhetorically distinguished from contempt. You’re scuttling downstairs. You commandeer the headliner’s chairs. You’re mispronouncing each band’s name, and you take their drinks, unashamed. And you mutter on in an attempt at kindness, but it is only rhetorically distinguished from contempt. Still, that’s high praise coming from you. High praise, indeed, though tentative and crude. High praise coming from you. But, oh, you’re still the same. She's scared to introduce a song fiercely directed at you. Her courage builds before she starts her set, but you’ve already left. And you mutter on in an attempt at kindness. But it is only rhetorically distinguished from contempt. Chorus.
