Shoelace

by Sam Leoh

on Don't Let the Bad Seeds Grow (2016)

Verse 1:
I'm destitute
Drained and in the mood for change
I'm so confused
Staring at my shoe's torn lace
I try to move
Taking my mind through a maze

Chorus:
The state I'm in, is a disgrace
This space I'm in, it is a waste
The state I'm in, is a disgrace
This space I'm in, it is a waste
This space I'm in, it is a waste

Verse 2:
I'm self-absorbed
Smoke stabs at my lungs and soul
I tread along
Throwing ash like crumbs for home
I dread these falls
Drunk so much, I'm numb to cold

Chorus:
The state I'm in, is a disgrace
This space I'm in, it is a waste
The state I'm in, is a disgrace
This space I'm in, it is a waste
This space I'm in, it is a waste

Bridge:
I am worn, and I have aged
I can work, but feel the strain
Like my shoelace
Like my shoelace

Chorus:
The state I'm in, is a disgrace
This space I'm in, it is a waste
The state I'm in, is a disgrace
This space I'm in, it is a waste
This space I'm in, it is a waste

Outro:
Like my shoelace
Like my shoelace
Like my shoelace
