Lyrics
I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Before you came what was your name?
Did you look like me?
No one's from here,
No one my dear, not even the trees.
So change your name,
Just keep your face.
We're temporary anyway.
Before you came we played
This game in our masquerade.
Flash, flash, car crash.
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick. take our picture!
Flash, flash, car crash.
We're no fixtures.
What was your past?
When was the last time
That you recall someone your knew
Was someone who asked nothing of you?
So lose your past.
I'm sure you'll find
It's in the way all the time.
Before you're through you're
Someone who looks a lot like you.
Flash, flash, car crash.
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick. take our picture!
Flash, flash, car crash.
We're no fixtures.
We can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow.
We can't recall the feelings
That we cannot show.
Flash, flash, car crash.
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick. take our picture!
Flash, flash, car crash.
We're no fixtures.
