lyrics

You thought you were free for so long
Free from money, free from time
But now you only wanna be free from yourself.

Your parents came to town, you saw that they were still alive
And want you to do well, your mother reminds you of yourself
An inhibition, a fence you thought you took down.
And while you slept, they put it back up.
A candle calls your woman home - she is far away.
You’re left with questions,
Your friends see how attached you are
To the love you can’t give yourself.
But at least she’s in your room
And it smells good in there now.
You’re curious about Ft. Worth,
You wonder if it has to do with your worth.
The clever machine has gotten savvy,
And now you need your songs from three years ago.
You’ll jam a pen into your arm, pretend the hurt is better than you
You’ll let it guide you like it always have,
If you can find your way out of a paper bag.
But there is a secret you declare
Your mouth won’t recognize who will be there to hear
You try to step outside yourself
Cuz you thought the future would be different.
Speak in simple words to catch your own attention
You know what the conversation with your roommate might be like,
Sometimes you're scared you don’t have friends.
Sometimes you truly do not fight for yourself.
You are the king of yourself and you can’t see that
There’s this wall you wanna break through
And you can’t see what it looks like
You cannot see what it looks like
You feel the surface and the pulse is strong.
Your arm does throb while the night is long.
Your fingers tremble as you watch TV, and act like you’re blind
To your own dignity.
The move you’ve yet to make or think of is
Tiny in comparison to what you really need.
You might be a sweet grape in a hard shell,
You come into the picture and you make it uncomfortable.
Frameless is the glass that sits with sphere
That sees the trouble you bring here
You’re alone when you thought you’d be perfect.

Wondering still about Ft. Worth
Wondering still about your worth
Wondering still about Ft. Worth.

I’m wondering still about Ft. Worth
Wondering still about your worth
I’m wondering still about Ft. Worth.
