Secondhand Cough Lyrics

pass me on the street and your burden is for real
like an awkward haircut
but I wouldn't know how that feels
pass me on the street and kiss me
inspiration comes so rarely now
the whole world's turning gray
and your cough suppressant breath
says "I want out of here
lord, get me out of here
take me away from here,"

and I'm so scared that I have to laugh
when your tears hit the ground
and you're so scared, but, like your tears
you never make a sound

pass me on the street and you look into my soul
truth is, I got it secondhand
no, I never was a man, I am a changeling
broken by the ways the
dream the dreamers dreamed never was for me

and you're so scared that you have to laugh
when your tears hit the ground
and we're so scared, but, like our tears
we never make a sound
