Andy Northrup Desperate lyrics

It's hard to see through all that plastic
It's not as though I haven't tried
The words get lost or come out spastic
I'm holding everything that's real inside

I wanna know if this is over
Or do I hope that we'll connect again
I wanna look at you and feel some hope
But all I see is a revision of the same old game

And I can't fathom what you call survival
I only know how desperate this place feels
So if this love has gone beyond revival
Then keep your precious little secrets
And make your deals - I'm going home

I used to laugh when you'd rave on how I'm so pent up
And brush me off like some deranged artiste
But piss me off and see what's lying in your teacup
I may have lost my mind but I've still got my teeth


And I can't fathom what you call survival
I only know how desperate this place feels
So if this love has gone beyond revival
Then keep your precious little secrets
And make your deals - I'm going home

Once I believed in your vision and I had no doubt that we'd win
Lately your lies are revealing and I'm not prepared
You know I ain't prepared to give in
Cause I can't fathom what you call survival
I only know how desperate this place feels
So if this love has gone beyond revival
Then keep your precious little secrets

And make your deals - I'm going home
I'm going home
