First Day Back — текст песни (Braid)

so frustrated
that something (so) complicated
could hang over my head
on my first day back
and already i`m treading on unsteady ground
so strike me down or check me out


so elated
that this soul so understated
could be making eyes at me
but first i`ll be
another innocent victim looking for some
sense of sympathy


in the middle of a state
the sorry story of a star
that goes "here`s my heart"
it`s a start
and if anything, we haven`t seen everything


in the middle of a stage
there`s a girl and a guitar
but there`s your car
have we forgotten who we are?
we haven`t seen anything


so i`m told that chicago`s cold
can`t be cool as california
for the first time ever
i feel severed yet smooth removed
if you approve then check it out


to what do i owe this attention
i`m only half of the reflection
and the conversation goes
oh, nevermind (oh, nevermind)
to what do i owe this tension
if deception`s fine
then this is divine


divine define divine


on my first day back
and already i`ve settled on
my weak front
