Out of My Element

歌詞

I'm out of my element, it's very concerning Each breath is a stranger, the earth gave up turning Nothing distracts me for more than a minute My skin feels unnatural as if i'm not in it At a time like this you could be so eloquent Instead you're so quiet, and i'm out of my element I thought i was all-terrain, tough in any condition I come to find out i'm mettle deficient My eyelid's on fire, got a heart made of glass My shadow walked out on me and i'm fading fast A closet claustrophobe who can't be protected I'm out of my element and i did not expect it I'm trying to walk straight but the sidewalk is nervous My tears need a curfew, my steps need a purpose I've suffered fools, mostly kept them at bay 'til the biggest one showed up in my mirror today I'm out of my element, the operandi modus? Nobody cares or even bothers to notice. I'm out of my element. some alternate journey My devil-may-care has been strapped to a gurney I'd embarrass a greek with my 'poor me' soliloquy But the real tragedy is that i let you get to me My love has misfired and i'm nursing the bruises What once was salvation is now just a nuisance Like a suburban mom on the number 3 uptown Out of my element and too scared to turn around Shawn pelton...drums Marty ballou...upright bass Duke levine...octave mandolin Kenny white...piano Tom "bones" malone...trombone Amy helm, catherine russell...background vocals Stephen barber...string arrangement Antoine silverman...violin Entcho todorov...violin Johnathan dinklage...viola Anja wood...cello
