Authentic neurotic, you're only a day away from letting it slide.
This wouldn't be the first time.
No.
This wouldn't be the last time, either
That voice, you know it wants to live for a while.
It's been choking in the mud.
Do you think it's worth giving up your post at the local university?
They gave you a name, but the call inside is coming straight from the main.
Authentic neurotic: you are powering your way through.
The fireman sees the fire that he's gotta put out.
You didn't get that kind of fire, did you?
But it's real and it's burning up the mountains,
and sometimes you're on top.
This isn't one of those times.
Do you think it's worth pushing on that boulder
when you could just check out, or find a rock that fits
the alter before your patient is here?
Authentic neurotic: you are powering your way through,
and all the babies that come after you,
I hope they uncover you.
I hope they uncover you and then
I hope that they talk to you.
I hope they open up to you instead.
"This isn't working out for me," you say.
It isn't ancient history.
Look before you, literally.
Look right at you and ask yourself:
What don't I want to do right now?
Why don't I want to do what I don't want to do right now?
What don't I think that I can do right now?
What am I scared to do now?
Do you think it's worth digging up the past
when the answer's not there?
Authentic neurotic: you are powering your way through,
and all the babies that come after you,
I hope they uncover you.

There is a lot to hear here and unsurprisingly it's a mixed bag, but Passing Strange's stunning arrangement of "Tourniquet" blows me away. They make it sound like it was ALWAYS a piano ballad, and their contribution was to rock it up with lively drums. summer villain
