lyrics

Hold on to your spine
This is where I lost mine
Make it through the day
With no contrived words to say

Hold on to that tree
Sway with that changing breeze
Make it through the day
With no dangerous games to play


Try not to feel ashamed
To cut and carve against the grain

Well… I don't come in peace; I come in pieces
I try to sideswipe you, but I get stuck in the middle
Right between your eyes, above your nose bridge
Maximum impact; I'm at a loss for what to tell you
I'm at a loss for what to do


I've held on to my spine
But I can't help but think sometimes
Somewhere, I grew up
I drank from the poison cup


And died there on the floor
Not sure what I'd been searching for
But I found it in that cup
Hurry; before it spills, drink up!


And try not to feel ashamed
When you cut and carve against the grain


[Chorus]

I can't get out of town, man; I've got no car
That's fine with me; I never planned to go far
Please pay no mind to me when I'm such a mess
I promise I clean up nice when I've got the chance


Be prepared for the worst
The roaring flames could claim you first


[Chorus x2]

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
