Brass Beam (Demo)

I took a pill, I went to sleep for the first time in weeks
 You kept me up with all your manic energy
 I had to go, I put it out just like a cigarette
 I'd never be a girl you'd like, or trust, or you'd respect
 When I think about it, I wanna punch the wall
 When I remember everything
 I wonder if I'll always feel small
 You look for me in the broken glass and styrofoam
 Painting yourself as a sufferer, a stepping stone
 You work real hard to herd your friends into a gallery
 Narcissistic injury disguised as masterpiece
 I just wanna run, yeah, I don't wanna fight
 I just want to sing my songs
 And sleep through the night
 Ooh
 Ooh
 Ooh
 I endured your criticism, self-loathing, and all your doubt
 I held you up above myself, trying to ride it out
 I got lost in your rendition of reality
 All my offering rendered boring hyperbole
 Couldn't see the sun from there, just a beam
 I thought it would never come out, yeah
 I had to
 Ooh
 Ooh
 Ooh
