It's hard to carry a tune Some, singing from their youth, seem naturally talented We are such picky receivers Yet, what a delight when some song pushes our buttons over and over again playing ourselves back to ourselves Winds up in a mystical collection Yet no way to share with another the depth of its echoes through us the hidden–spot tickle of its touch Agony unshared A dread to share As like it falls on deaf ears the horror of triggers missing in another the tip–top registers of our soul And this some polished piece of painstaken production How much more terrifying when we play ourselves I trip along as the band plays on I might look queer, but I'm certain no one holds a candle to my music
