At 41, divorced, and alone, this song hits a different way.

One hand on this wily comet Take a drink just to give me some weight Some uber-man I'd make I'm barely a vapor They shone a chlorine light on A host of individual sins Let's carve my aging face off Fetch us a knife Start with my eyes Down so the lines Form a grimacing smile Close your eyes to corral a virtue Is this fooling anyone else? Never worked so long and hard To cement a failure We can blow on our thumbs and posture But the lonely are such delicate things The wind from a wasp could blow them Into the sea With stones on their feet Lost to the light and the loving we need Still to come The worst part and you know it There is a numbness In your heart and it's growing With burnt sage and a forest of bygones I click my heels Get the devils in line A list of things I could lay the blame on Might give me a way out But with each turn It's this front and center Like a dart stuck square in your eye Every post you can hitch your faith on Is a pie in the sky Chock full of lies A tool we devise To make sinking stones fly And still to come The worst part and you know it There is a numbness In your heart and it's growing

Loved the shins before but after watching Chuck this song takes on a whole new meaning and power. So good!

Thanks for reminding me about "The Shins". I had forgotten how cool their music is.

I love this song so much but I hate how much it echoes in my head; each line takes hold and catches like a sermon, a fishhook I cannot dislodge. I hope for something to look forward to but I only find acceptance, this truly is all it ever was and all it shall ever be. There never was a prize, no finish line to be found. You never know when you've reached the peak of the mountain until you begin down the other side and by then its too late- the weight of your mistakes, your failures, the mass of guilt you carry will drag you down with gathering speed and there is only the onrushing darkness to accompany you. Here we are, candles flickering in an empty room, unseen drafts blowing us out one by one. All that remains are the wisps of smoke only briefly illuminated by those left until they too, are gone. I wanted life, not simply to live...

1 of few maybe 3 bands that have actually initiated enough receptors invoking a few of my inspiration pistons into turning over thus requesting more fuel of the same brand and next thing i knew i was filling up regularly on The Shins fuel grade and have thusfar used it to get back in time to my better days. Time machine fuels what i consider this 1+ man band better then any flux capacitor or telly phone booth😊
