Short Circuit from Ordinary Life by We Are The Union

i get fed up with myself
my mind went manic and jumped over the details again
flat tires and amplifiers
can we go back to the beginning?
sorry

getting used to the side eye
the constant feeling i let you down when i can’t sit still
missed anniversaries
the broken horse on a carousel

the circus is in town
you wanna go, but you’ve already seen the clown
it’s always half as fun as we think
but i don’t wanna let you down

i can’t blame you for leaving
i can’t trace all the loose wires in my head

wander under the night sky
my therapist says i’m self aware, not great with boundaries
afraid to disappoint
so i fail everyone around me

walk the bridge at caltech, retrace all my past steps
i’m one thousand thoughts a second, now you’re headed to the exit

i can’t blame you for leaving
i can’t trace all the loose wires in my head
i can’t blame you for leaving
i can’t blame you
before i short circuit again

hello, distraction, you’re the rain to my little cloud
hello, distraction, take me down
hello, distraction, you’re the storm chasing me now
hello, distraction, take me down

i’m too impatient with myself
my thoughts went silent and lost track of the motivation

i can’t blame you for leaving
i can’t trace all the loose wires in my head
i can’t blame you for leaving
i can’t blame you
before i short circuit again
i can’t blame you for leaving
i can’t blame you
before i short circuit again
short circuit again

hello, distraction
take me down.
