lyrics

Why do I try to be
That someone else’s me
Head buried in the sand
No Self-Reflection Land
Why do I try to show
A love I won’t let grow
Release a tide of shame
Suffer through false remains

Take a stand only to watch it fall
Get up again
Recalculate, medicate
Course is changed, new asphalt laid
You’re redefined
Till words crash and burn you for time you wasted

Why do I try to be
That someone else’s me
Head buried in the sand
No Self-Reflection Land
Why do I try to show
A love I won’t let grow
Release a tide of shame
Suffer through false remains

So actualized ‘til minimized
Crawl in a hole
Your actions debilitate
Sound advice, discovery
Behind the screen
There’s nothing but wrinkles in time
Thought found but lost

Why do I try to be
That someone else’s me
Head buried in the sand
No Self-Reflection Land
Why do I try to show
A love I won’t let grow
Release a tide of shame
Suffer through false remains

The knife, that cries
The kill is mine
The price to blind
The caustic landscape clutter in my mind

Why do I try to be
That someone else’s me
Head buried in the sand
No Self-Reflection Land
Why do I try to show
A love I won’t let grow
Release a tide of shame
Suffer through false remains

Why do I try to be
That someone else’s me
Head buried in the sand
No Self-Reflection Land
Why do I try to show
A love I won’t let grow
Release a tide of shame
Suffer through false remains

Why do I try to be that someone else’s me
No self-reflection
No self-reflection

Why do I try to be that someone else’s me
No self-reflection
No self-reflection
No self-reflection
No self-reflect

No self
No self
No self
No self

Nothing

about

The American Professionals image

The American Professionals St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis hook-heavy guitar pop band The American Professionals’ core members Chuck Lindo and Cheryl Hendrickson’s music and personal lives are both intertwined and parallel. This husband/wife team makes that paradox possible on their 2017 release, Sympathetic Overdrive. The record is a genre-hopping display of both unity and individuality, fear and hope, love and scorn. ... more
