Braid First Day Back Lyrics

First Day Back Lyrics

so frustrated



that something (so) complicated



could hang over my head



on my first day back



and already i'm treading on unsteady ground



so strike me down or check me out











so elated



that this soul so understated



could be making eyes at me



but first i'll be



another innocent victim looking for some



sense of sympathy











in the middle of a state



the sorry story of a star



that goes "here's my heart"



it's a start



and if anything, we haven't seen everything











in the middle of a stage



there's a girl and a guitar



but there's your car



have we forgotten who we are?



we haven't seen anything











so i'm told that chicago's cold



can't be cool as california



for the first time ever



i feel severed yet smooth removed



if you approve then check it out











to what do i owe this attention



i'm only half of the reflection



and the conversation goes



oh, nevermind (oh, nevermind)



to what do i owe this tension



if deception's fine



then this is divine











divine define divine











on my first day back



and already i've settled on



my weak front
