Artist: Jena Berlin
Song: Instruments

I was stranded 
watching all our friends tied down in uniforms
disillusioned, one's insisting nothing’s changed since we were kids
and like headstones we stand posed
guarding over these lives long lost
you watch my quiet quiet anger
i watch your joyful exhuberance
these things they go unnoticed
but i've been trying the best i know how
borrow the land i will never keep
feeding the fires that were coming for me anyway
i'd like to be the bigger person just once when i'm not capable
i'd like to not seem so desperate sometimes
is that too unrealistic?
you better shake some sense in me when i'm saying i'm too old
because we were supposed to be instruments
we were supposed to be
and if nothing else
play what you can
sing what you know now
no use in saving these days
I know its all or nothing now
When every mile means more
And i know its never how you planned
and i know now how everybody is slipping farther away from here
and i noticed your current motives used to know your dreams so well
i'd like to be the bigger person just once when i'm not capable
i'd like to not seem so desperate sometimes
is that too unrealistic?
you better shake some sense in me when i'm saying i'm too old
because we were supposed to be instruments
we were supposed to be
play what you can
sing what you know
