about

"you think you're taller than me?"

lyrics

In your shadow I stand on a cloudy day
I feel the warmth of summer behind the autumn gray
I hold these feelings before me as you take them away
You open your mouth, I can't hear what you say
If you wonder why I'm distant, I learned from the best
Now I'm gone all night, and you know the rest
I'm abruptly interrupted by destructive cynicism
I'm adverse to all these things; I want constructive criticism

I'll do the work on my own because I know you're inept
But my back will stay free of your cumbersome load
Incompetence and confidence are your gin and tonic
Your sick logic reminds me again and again I'm alone.

Why are you here?
Why did you try?
Your past failures pain
Never learned how to fly
Dropped from the nest
With no knowledge of life

Each branch on descent
Let pain become rife
Never fulfilled, seeking more than a fight
Weapons at the ready, verbal warfare set high
You're big and you're strong and you're not afraid
I'm alone, not quite scared, but not ready to die
