Sleight of Hand

by Hunter Root

/

lyrics

We share the same frustration
Nobody's forcing us to stay
This world is over rated
I just can't look the other way
Now I could be mistaken

Too quick to catch the sleight of hand
Can't catch the sleight of hand
Gotta let it go before I blow

I sense my hesitation
Sit back and ponder what to do
I think that I'm mistaken
Can't win if you're to afraid to lose
It's all still stimulating

Can't shake these circulating blues
You know the ones so hard to lose
Gotta let it go before I blow

I'm gonna push the sky with all my might
Fall flat on my face and feel delight
I'll suck you dry of all your pain
Spit out the good parts and swallow shame

I'm gonna end up somewhere I never intended
Scribbling a letter to no one and never send it
Keep a diary and share all my secrets
Scold my friends politely to whisper when they scream it

Build a wall into the ground
Put it back together upside down
Circle the square for the rest of my life
Stab me with a gun man I'll shoot you with a knife yeah

I"ll paint a song absent of words
Ask you what you thought about a part you never heard
Be born a machine, steal someones soul
Die and go to heaven, come back a ghoul
Empty my pockets and fill them with air
Get incredibly frustrated and still never care
Can't catch the sleight of hand
