lyrics

I’ll be the corner of rooms
I’ll be the whistling tunes
I’ll be the whispers behind my own back
Be the assurance that they seem to lack
But, I will not be any other
I will be

I’ll be the burn of my ears
Be the divide of my peers
I’ll be the in-between lines they have spoken
I’ll be the butt of the jokes they are jokin’
But, I will not be any other
I will be

So, screw you all to the wall of short-sighted
Defeatist and insecure, petty and mean
My boots fit just fine

So, if you’re sitting out there
Eyeing the ground with your nose in the air
I speak on behalf of the crowd
“If you can’t get into it then get the hell out”
And, as the door swings you’ll hear us all sing

Screw you all to the wall of short-sighted
Defeatist and insecure, petty and mean
My boots fit just

Screw you all to the wall of short-sighted
Defeatist and insecure. Petty, and mean
My boots fit just fine

“There's no escaping just how good this album is”
Mike Alexander, New Zealand Herald
