Sit Down

from Agneta by Hungry Animals

lyrics

crusty eyed, late night morning
sunrise
tongue-tied subway ride
sore thighs
They told me time flies
and while I wasn’t looking
It flew right by

and stole all of my feathers
and turned them into armor
and punched me in the mouth
and said don’t let nobody harm you
it’s alarming when it wakes you at 6.30 in the morning
throws you out the door
you want to ask for more

But still,
it feels like you were born yesterday
and your shackles weigh a ton
and your ears are getting tired.
Strings
are loosely wrapped around your neck.
For now they feel like down
But they’re slowly getting tighter.

Woke up at a pace I didn’t recognize
Bound by haste I groped the walls to keep my place
wait, have I been here before?

Take time, reasons to be
defined
blurred line, summer high
grey walls
no catcher with your rye
I just got off the tit
You tell me not to cry

Outside I can hear the needles
of the drops of rain
Sewing the street to the sky
with their threads of water and dark

And still,
it feels like you were born yesterday
still your shackles weigh a ton
and your ears have gotten tired.
Strings
are loosely wrapped around your neck.
For now they feel like down
But they’re slowly getting tighter.
