lyrics

There isn’t a way
To make this stop
It’s inescapable
This goddamn disaster
Of being anything
More than temporary
We have the company we keep
And the shit we choose to do
To one another (or to no one)
And that’s not going to change
No, it won’t go away

I’m a shapeshifter
I’m a broken compass
The fool in clever makeup
I’m the violent Buddhist

That’s tied to a life
I’ve never led
(I’m only passing through)
And on my deathbed,
Will it be what I’ve done
That flashes before my eyes
Or will it be
What it didn’t do
I was afraid to try
And if I can’t finish
Anything I start
What will I do when I die
Since that’s how it ends?

Will I find liberation?
I don’t want this to end
I can’t lose, anyone I love
I’m a shapeshifter
I’m a broken compass
The fool in clever makeup
I’m the violent Buddhist
...so help me do better
Anything to keep me
From unraveling
And fucking it up,
Before I am done

I’m a shapeshifter
I’m a broken compass
