​am i am Lyrics by ​altopalo

​farawayfromeveryoneyouknow (but wait - there’s more!)

2020

[Verse 1]
I used to think I’d
Tan my own rawhide
Eat leaves and termites
Live out some bold life
You see me roll strikes
Bumpers on both sides
Convictions aside
I’m just unfit to survive
[Chorus]
Oh love, am I, am I, am I an embattled actor
Playing camo in the attic of his benefactor?
Oh God damn it, am I, am I, am I, am I, am I
Chased down from the branches of a dream life?
Oh why can’t I, can’t I, can’t I be the bloody dagger
Plucked proud from the heart of a deadly attacker?
Tell me am I, am I, am I just an actor
Chased down from the rafters of a dream life?
[Verse 2]
Woke up in mid flight
Buzzing round lamp light
Too bright for small eyes
Fuck knows why
Losing sight of the bug in a swarm
I pack to leave but you know I’ll come back
To where the friction is nothing but sine waves
Singing on the phone
[Chorus]
Oh love, am I, am I, am I a bedraggled passer
Face down in the scraps of an abandoned chapter?
Oh God damn it, am I, am I, am I, am I, am I
Ripped out from the pages of a dream life?
Oh why can’t I, can’t I, can’t I be the cold commander
Struck down in the clamor of a new disaster?
Tell me am I, am I, am I just a stander
Standing by on the shoulder of a dream life?
[Outro]
If I can I'll be the banished laughter
Burst out from the cracks of a dream life
