Trailing Off - J Mascis

Dark expanses prove enough

Hard to function in this town

I left tired and unsure

Fidgety and insecure

An illusion sets it off to close

Wishin me the moon

If I knew you needed me the most

I’m paradin on the side

I left everything behind

Twist a piece over my head

I’ve been laying here instead

I forgot to save a piece for me

Feeling empty as I’m left

If it matters not enough to see

How much can I take?

On me

Oh me

Jumbled up I made a move

I got less and less to prove

Got another off my mind

The pain can’t be far behind

Drove another spark right out of me

Will I recognize the sound?

Trailing off still not enough to be

Not enough to me

How much can I take?
