Root and Fifth Lyrics by Slash Fiction

We’ll Hold This Line Until Hell Freezes Over

2024

I’m starting to feel like a fraud more and more
Every time that I can't hold a note or play a chord
And all my flaws are laid out in front of me
Every time I fuck up a harmony
And every bass line’s just a root and fifth
I’m trying not to be so introspective
(call this a crutch or call it what it is)
I’m trying not to be so god damn sensitive
But i miss the pounds of flesh that I cut out of me
Wish I didn't have so much to confess
(mine your own self doubt until there’s nothing left)
I wish that I could say that I couldn't care less
I'm trying to get my heart back from on my sleeve
I say I’ll make up for talent with energy
But my knees seem to disagree with me
And every line I write is just another reference
I try to be less literal
It doesn't make a difference
Maybe if I could rely less
On clumsy metaphors
I'd feel like less of an imposter
If I could have one week
Where I could keep in mind
"Nobody loses all the time"
Then I might be alright
And fuck I'd settle for alright
