lyrics

Counterfeit

Another hotel, not sure where you are
Another empty minibar
From scene to scene, so perfectly played
A shame that you weren’t getting paid

A pill for the pain now, a trip to the store
Not sure what you’ve gained now, it’s quarter to four

I guess your cocaine glamour only goes so far (Neal)
And it’s never gonna make your a movie star
‘Cause when you come back down, you’re still who you are (oos)
And who are you? Yeah, who are you?

Like a fish swimming in an empty tank (Neal)
Dreamin’ ‘bout the bottles that you never drank
Oh you’re living the life with no cash in the bank
You’re overdrawn, and you’re over it
You’re a criticized, compromised, cut-to-size...counterfeit

The day you arrived, the stars were so close
Bet you thought you could never overdose
The sun was so warm, the sand was so fine
So many shivers down your spine

One or two heartbreaks, par for the course
You give good head fakes, but there’s a whiff of remorse

Falling so slow, it never felt like sinking
But now the future you’re staring at just caught you blinking)

It's visible, you’re wavering
You’re critical, you’re cratering

You’re overdrawn and SO over it
You’re a compromised, criticized, cut-to-size, traumatized, homogenized…counterfeit

Sing Along, his sophomore release, is available in digital and vinyl versions. ... more
