lyrics

If you wore those boots for walking, what are you still doing in bed
Softly humming songs of longing that do you no good stuck in your head?
Stuck in your head, you say, you live that way — it is your greatest shame!
Well, you chose it, Ben. You chose this pain.

What signs should I ignore?
What drugs should I explore?
What gates should I pretend I can’t open?

If you’ve selected scenes for cutting, find the frames now on the floor
Remember every cent it cost you and your crew — there could be more,
But make damn sure you search intently, ‘cause the cameras can’t see
Anything you don’t find first in me.

What signs should I ignore?
What drugs should I explore?
What gates should I pretend I can’t open?

Oh Lord… Oh, Ben…

There are roads you’ll travel nightly
There are some you may never see
Tuck and roll; just try and stop me
But I am truth, and I don’t care what you believe
Oh, I am truth, and I don’t care what you believe

If you bore me proudly since your childhood, you would now be free
But luckily there is no deadline to get to know me
Stuck in your head, you’ll find a shade of red — instead look to the trees
If you choose a color, choose bright green

What signs should I ignore?
What drugs should I explore?
What gates should I pretend I can’t open?

Oh Lord… Oh, Ben…
Oh, Ben…

There are roads you’ll travel nightly
There are some you may never see
Tuck and roll; just try and stop me
But I am truth, and I don’t care what you believe
Oh, I am truth, and I don’t care what you believe

There are songs you’ll sing without me
Many more in the drawer you’ll leave.
Look harder, and you’ll find words pouring from me
I am truth, and I don’t care what notes you sing
I am truth; I never cared what you believed

about

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.
