Anti-Joy (Reprise)

from Patchwork Walls by Brother Keep

lyrics

Wonder where I’ll find myself at dawn
Cause I’ve been kissing the shadows that walk the walls
Put on my mask, you can see right through
I’m still too proud to believe in the truth
I don’t hear what I don’t want to believe
And it will never hurt me

I’m just a checker in this game of chess
A silhouette just without the darkness
There’s no one left to unimpress

Wonder if it’s time to shed my skin
To open up my mouth and crawl out from within
I walk these broken lines
They lead such incomplete lives
I will be the break in your broken lifeline

(Take a breath)
I’m just a checker in this game of chess
(Take my hand)
A silhouette just without the darkness
(Take a breath)
There’s no one left to unimpress
(A fresh breath of aerosol)
