I was running on fumes,
I was picking up steam,
I was telling you all the things I'd seen.
I was putting on airs,
I was stuck in my hell.
I was a shell of my good self.
But if I was a loner, I wouldn't tell a soul.
If I was truly a loner, I'd never leave this hole.
I was ready to go, I was ready to stay.
My mind split in two that day.
I could hate everyone like lately I had done
Or I could tear down all the shades.
Now I know I'm not a loner, cause it feels so warm and bright.
To be alive in the age of recompense and social renaissance.
Now I know I'm not a loner,
I've got a price on my soul,
just recently it was worthless,
I was bought and I was sold.
I was bought and I was sold.
This is all a dream,
it's happening too fast,
It's falling into place, this can't last.
But what if it does? and what if I'm cured?
What if the diagnosis was ignored?

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26
