lyrics

days blend into night
as candlelights dim
like the health of this life

cause the rearview mirror
had plenty to say
like, "your freedom's found
in the sunset rays"

but my hands are shaking
my hope wears thin
this hope wears small
like the tight of my skin
this supertramp has met his match:
a life lived short –
a life at that

i lived a new man
i breathed a new name
i knew boundaries
and i was free

now the trees
they sing me to sleep
sing me to peace
beg me to leave

cause four years
they take their toll
and life is just too long
i lived afraid of a 9 to 5 necktie

on my life
this 9 to 5 necktie

it's pretty funny, y'know
i thought i knew everything
the day i turned the key
that locked the door
that ignited
the freedom in me

you can think you're right
you can think it through
but when you think you've got it all
you never really know, no
you've never really known at all

i lived a new man
i breathed a new name
i knew no boundaries
was i free?

now the trees
they sing me to sleep
sing me to peace
beg me to place

cause four years
they took their toll
and life was just too long
to live afraid of a 9 to 5 necktie

on my life
this 9 to 5 necktie

my material self
my material things
that pile of ash –
the material me

was it all really worth it?
as i reflect in the end
when you romanticize the future
don't romanticize the end

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
