"Shaking Hands" lyrics

"Shaking Hands"

Shut-in city
Pillars scared of the community, yeah
Grown up sleaze
They log online to find their freaks
But nonetheless
They're mowing lawns
They're making beds
They're getting hitched
They're shaking hands

No contempt for the former life and rosy glow they all once had
But sold it back

And I walk around this seedy old town
And I ain't got much to do
And I wonder and I wonder
If I'm ever going under
And I ain't got much to lose

Public parks
And public freakouts after dark
At the grocery store
Nice night for
An empty threat slipped underneath your door
I'd kill to be your friend

And I walk around this shitty old town
And I ain't got much to do
And I wonder and I wonder
If I'm ever going under
And I ain't got much to prove

I know, I know, I know, know
I don't, I don't, I don't

And I walk around this sleepy old town
And I ain't got much to do
I wonder and I wonder
If I'm ever going under
And I ain't got much to prove

Shadows from wall to wall
Inside your head
Another summer put to bed
Lay on your back
Insomniac
And pray
God bless this way of life
You say

I know, I know, I know now
