cohen (band) - dramatist lyrics

Loading...

it’s so easy to say one thing and then do another
i guess i have a tendency to see the best in others

each vice leads me just to overthink
but i can’t seem to rewrite the script
the root of my own problems is me

if you cut me deep, i’d smile and sew myself a mend
if it’s what it took to keep you as a friend

if we felt the vacancy, and you still pulled me close
i’d never loosen my hold, because i can’t say “no”

i’m consciously neglecting my true intentions
acknowledging my problems but never giving them my full attention

i’m just a dramatist

no stagehands
it’s all just me
orchestrating my own misery

act one:
get my hopes up

act two:
let my guard down
become too self-aware
cue anxiety
and watch me drown

everyone makes it seem like this should be a quick fix
and i’m just the hand that folds my own self-detriment
took what i thought was real and made a mask
composed an act and cast myself as
a m-s-ch-stic hypochondriac

i can’t cope with each persisting disorder
i think a role reversal is in order

tried changing my ways
but the ink dried the instant
i spelled them out
take the pen from me
blackout each trace of a doubt

i’m a dramatist
who doesn’t want to call the shots
i’m afraid that i’ll inevitably write myself off
