Holy Pinto - Acquaintances, Friends, Love Ends. Lyrics

I found health in life in motion
But I could be like you
On the streets of Barcelona
Flirting with substance abuse
I come here hat in hand
Please chuck a penny my way
I'll catch it with my teeth
And arf like a seal

I'm so lonely and so gutted
Like a trout
Whilst you are the fisherman
I swim the stream of self-doubt
If I could be so lucky
You will pluck me from the sea
Before I build my own coffin
From IKEA carpentry

I'm an animal born to be ferried to an abattoir
We're kinda all the same
A bunch of vicious carnivores
Both literally and figuratively
Feed me meat
I'll drink milk before bed
And this cosy van sleep

Because good things come and then they end
It's cruel I suppose
How love ends as quick as it begins
So I left my home
I've burned the candle, but I'm up for a fight
Let's drink in the day and pretend it's night

I love my tinpot operation
I am a shoe string radio
AM station
Broadcasting direct to you
Some songs of alienation
To penetrate your ears
Cut a slice out of your brain
As I feed you my tears

I am the grand dictator
The conductor of this orchestra
The unhinged pariah of the pop punk cornucopia
We're all content creators
In a scary world of narcissists
In the age of the shaming
The shameless become kings
But If I could forge a helmet
In jess's dads basement
Maybe I could join the melee
And keep my heart beating steady

Because good things come and then they end
It's cruel I suppose
How love ends as quick as it begins
So I left my home
I've burned the candle, but I'm up for a fight
Let's drink in the day and pretend it's night

The blissful moment you wake up
And don't know who or where you are
Before it all comes flooding in
The private hell that you've patched together
The moments in my life that I keep in captivity
Like when I learned to play guitar
Captained the football C team
I should have stayed at home
And found passion in the algebra
Saw wonder in a test tube
Argued in a court of law
I was an inch off the goal posts
Now I'm cradled in row Z
Found myself more American than I ever hoped to be

Because good things come and then they end
It's cruel I suppose
How love ends as quick as it begins
So I left my home
I've burned the candle, but I'm up for a fight
Let's drink in the day and pretend it's night

When I was a kid, I wanted to drive a tractor and play the violin
Cause there was candy on offer
Instead I played piano
And I oogle at pick-up trucks
Just pacing in the dark
I am a failure in the muck, or is it mire
Forever, and ever... Aymen
