Vulnerable and Loud

from Racoon by Straight White Teeth

/

lyrics

Busy Platte
Condos on the shore
Tranquility lost on a highway locked
To a view I can’t afford

I don’t think anyone
Can stay the same even if they tried

Have me now
I’m vulnerable and loud
Like an animal backed in a corner black you’re my captor and my ticket out

I don't think anything
Saves us from the truth that we can’t bear to look at
That we’re the butchers and the swine

At the same time

Left alone
The spirit don’t speak no more
It’s a energy tacked to a godless hack
And a childhood mired in lore

I wasn’t ever good enough
To win salvation in my leaders eyes

I love the way
The seasons come
And for a minute it feels like nothing’s gonna change again
But of course it does
It always will in
Time
