Unsetting Fires (Circus)

from Animal Pragmatist EP by Katie Kuffel

lyrics

I've had quite a time of it as of late
Unsleeping sideways my dreams a slithering snake
These bones that I've grown and this skin that I'm in seem shaky at best
Can I even say I gave it my all? I guess...

I'm no stone-throwing martyr my heart's just left my chest
So I'll swallow my voice to save what's left

Because I'm better than fine just give me some time
And I'll laugh myself to sleep
I've been unsetting fires and trippin' on wires
An actress or liar of peace
I say I'm okay take me at my word
You can't worry 'bout something you haven't heard
So I'll snarl and sneer when I need you near
I'm scared I'm not self-assured

It's been quite a harrowing start
A heroine's arrow like a poisonous dart
Whatever I touch never grows back
Can I find greener pastures while picking up slack?

I hear going forward's a crawl not a race
But time's blowin' past me at a breakneck pace
So I'll dig in my heels and hold on for a while
Fake it and make it, go out with a smile

Because I'm better than fine just give me some time
And I'll laugh myself to sleep
I've been unsetting fires and trippin' on wires
An actress or liar of peace
I say I'm okay take me at my word
You can't worry 'bout something you haven't heard
So I'll snarl and sneer when I need you near
I'm scared I'm not self-assured
