WE HOLD HANDS AND WE JUMP
SYMPATHIZER

lyrics

I didn't eat today
Or yesterday
And I can't say I'll eat tomorrow
Eating gives me energy
But there's that I would need energy for
Don't live like you're dying
Live like you're dead
You don't have to be scared
Of any of the things
That could kill you
'Cause everything around you could kill you
And I know that's true

There's nothing left that makes me happy anymore
And that's the case for absolutely everyone
But if you're not ready to admit that yet, it's fine
We'll get there if we try
That's growing up, that's what growing up is
We get older 'til we die
And mature until we're dead inside

I saw my heart today
I felt it say
"Kid, you're on the right track."
I didn't believe a word
I just couldn't take in what I had heard

I spent the best days of my life working late
I missed the party of a lifetime putting money in the bank
I miss the only thing that matters in this world
So consistently, that you might guess that
I'm some kind of masochist

(instrumental)

I wasn't made for this world
It's a little too harsh for me
I know a lot of folks who feel the same way
I know a lot of folks who tried hard to escape
You can do that if you try
That's suicide, that's what suicide is
No one you know is gonna end up right
But everything will end, somehow
Everyone will get a little bit better
Everyone gets happier, sometimes

(instrumental)

Just once, I'd like to smile and mean it
Just once, I'd like to smile and mean it
Just once, I'd like to smile and mean it
Just once, just once, just once
Just once, just once, just once

That's enough.

we hold hands and we jump Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Surprising no one, the artist behind this music is a trans woman now. This project may be dead and gone, but she continues to write music with a new band called "Sherry CD-ROM".
