lyrics

We pop up from our trenches and let them fly
Then slide back down and pray to die
I wake up bright eyed from a bed of nails every day
And sharpen yours while you’re away

I loosen the noose I’m in
To go tighten yours and give you a spin
I raise up my arms, a white flag in each hand
After all this time
I think we understand

I pull a muscle while pulling my teeth
Then place the pliers just out of your reach
We place our bombs, light the fuses and flee
Then kick them away before each other can seem them

I cough up the pills I took
Then open your cap and shoot you a look
I raise up my arms and show you my hands
After all this time
I think we understand

You go first or I will
But if you wait you might think that I will, too
So I’ll go first with my eye on you
Just until you know that you will, too

Does my giving up make you want to, too?
How can I stop without wanting you to, too?

We evacuate the wounded and bury the dead
Then state for the record it was all in our heads

I open the window wide
To let out the gas and let you inside
I open my arms and you take my hands
After all this time
I think we understand

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
