Reminders, Defeats - Jesse Marchant

See it now it is passing you

Plain in the firelight

Nothing new, just happening again

Stiffened and paralyzed

In the sheets

Don’t give me a line

I know the change when it comes

Pick all your prizes, get it right

Own the streak

It ain’t nothing

And I don’t need anyone

To have to explain to that

Everyone’s got to carry their own

You got fucked on your way

Well I ain’t to blame

For whatever ain’t done to you right

And whatever’s done to you wrong

You pull your life on a chain

Well it all will have passed

And it all will have done

With you what it may

You can tell both of your parents

That they got it wrong

Pushing you aside

All that anger they left you

Now with their pain

Did you end up with all the rise

From the city that you wanted

You were onto it fast

When I had to face

That somehow I’d never know

Any form of it right

Just it running a waste

That I couldn’t take

Well they’re onto you now

And you’ve idled in swamp

I’m done drowning

In the ways that I can’t escape

Somehow I feel it like a sting

Somehow I feel it wrong
