I Am You Now - Protomartyr

Save your tears for end of show

Save labor for free exposure

Though I have no face, country, voice, or creed

I am better than you are

You who suffer beyond margin of quadrant:

Join the conversation

I am you now

New face — your woe — easy money in absentia

Hogs feed on the ungathered dead

Off-camera we stand with you weeping

Keep your hands out of my pockets

I’m talking

I am you now

Engagement gives you hopes to be seen

It fell out, stick it back in again

60 bucks, 60 bucks, one dollar, two quarters

Shut your mouth, you’re starting to lose focus

What does it mean?

(Many numbered, many numbered)

What does it mean?

(Weighed and found wanting)

What does it mean?

(Face the brand and see)

(Face the brand and see)

(Face the brand and see)

Wait for the wind, then my birds sing

Deep grottoes whisper my name

I am you now

Boo-hoo

I am you now

Boo-hoo

I am you now
