Shortcomings Lyrics by Hookworms

Microshift

2018

This body's nearly over
Lately, love feels cynical
A calloused mind
A softer structure
Lately I don‘t know

Don‘t be so self-destructive
I can‘t hide, I'm feeling fallow
Don‘t be so self-destructive
This year seems so endless
Just wanna plateau
Don‘t be so self-destructive
Erase, please erase it all
Don‘t be so self-destructive
Cause isolation stops me feeling more

I cannot bare to see my form
Disconnected, disconnected
Ashamed of blemishes and flaws
Disconnected, disconnected
I feel guarded, I feel less than strong
Disconnected, disconnected
Here where our bodies don‘t belong
Disconnected, disconnected

Found no way to love the world
I am tired out, I am
I'm tired out
Found no way to love the world
I remember the place where I first felt ashamed
Of my body in space
I was wrong, I was wrong

I cannot bare to see my thorn
Disconnected, disconnected
Ashamed of blemishes and flaws
Disconnected, disconnected
I keep guard and I feel less strong
Disconnected, disconnected
Here where our bodies don't belong
Disconnected, disconnected

Please just hold out
You gotta hold out, it will come
Let's talk about
When we were young and nothing mattered
Hold out, hold out and come
Please just hold out, hold out and come
And you've gotta hold out, hold out and come
I can't help feelin' helpless
Hold out, hold out, it'll come
Can't promise, almost over
Hold out, hold out, it'll come
I'm sorry, it's always been there
