I saw Matthew Dear open for MGMT at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn NYC in 2018. He performed this song, first time hearing it. I’m here now

Well I'm a touch fast Though I'll be last To play with the heart from the start I'll be straight The second best boy Unless like the rest boy I'll stick around in the house of your mind At the gate And I never thought they'd get to you So tell me have they gotten to you, too? Did you tell them what they wanted to know? Did you show them what I wanted to show, you? And it's coming undone So I run and I run But there's nowhere left worth Running to It's hopeless at best But what do we get? A sense of regret which feels like Nothing new I'm the white ash From the smoke stack Helplessly floating from embers That create Troubled at best, boy Another decoy Dipping my hat to the man Fanning the flame I never thought they could get you to crack So tell me how they got me to crack, you Did you really think you could trust Such a man with a head full of rust, too? As it was coming undone I could have told you to run But I searched and I yearned for that pill To get me through And I'm helpless at best Equal to the rest I'll always forget Not to be blue
