Shortfall Lyrics by Cloud Tapes

In Gratitude - EP

2017

I threw all my records out
Because I couldn’t stand the sound
Of the needle pushing down on me
Staring into an empty slate
While thinking that it would illustrate
Everything that you thought of me

Who did you think you were talking to?
Always ill-mannered, still resolute
Your arm’s too heavy to lift the spoon

On another silent retreat
Self-reflecting until obsolete
The anticipation builds and dissipates
Under the impression you’re overwrought
Not the way you’d want to come across
Gone the distance to find no response

Who did you think you were talking to?
Always ill-mannered, still resolute
Your arm’s too heavy to lift the spoon
