Muscle Memory

Dananananaykroyd

Not for the first time 
Blood on the gym floor 
Arcs like a rainbow round 
Not so appalling 
To wring my own neck 
Names on the gauze; absent 

Play along 
'Cause I know the chords, muscle memory 
Play along 
'Cause I know the chords, muscle memory 

Wisdom 
Is clumsy 
Enlightened 
By stereo evangelists listen 
To decode 
So badly 
The meanings in allegory 
Take what seems to get you down 
And follow misinterpretations 

Play along 
'Cause I know the chords, muscle memory 
Play along 
'Cause I know the chords, muscle memory 

Gracious 
But casual 
Hang on 
To every word transmitted from playlists 
And albums 
Just knowing 
The fawning is just secondary 
Left inhibitions at the door 
Regrets are met with open arms 

Play along 
'Cause I know the chords 
Play along 
Muscle memory 

You'd like me better if I liked you less 

Clumsy 
And awkward 
In public 
You spill around in stationary motion 
Seasick 
From speaking 
The morals of your influence 
Limbs cast fondly to the sea 
Remember who you used to be? 

Play along 
'Cause I know the chords, muscle memory 
Play along 
'Cause I know the chords, muscle memory
