Resident Writer Lyrics

Cooper Temple Clause Resident Writer

(No one helped me fall)
You'll never guess who I just saw
He's autumn black and now his hair's gone
For added effect

(No one helped me fall)
Trying to fool the sin again
He's tried and played the role a few times
You just have to laugh

When all of this is said and done
When you cracked heads and got it on
Me? I'm where you found me at the start.

When you've grown out of this machine
Remember how I never seem to see life
For sleeping in the dark

(No one helped us all)
Now who the hell is here to say
That he could make a go on his own?
With his latest fan

(No one helped us all)
Never got the feeling back
Never got the time to write home
Or make us happy

I was always led to believe
That there'd be a way to pack up and leave
But why can't we be lonely?
Playful and free?
I've taken the test and failed with ease

When all of this is said and done
When you cracked heads and got it on
Me? I'm where you found me at the start.

When you've grown out of this machine
Remember how I never seem to see life
Or sleeping in the dark

So leave me to these stupid words
I'll pick my grave on silly curses
All I expected of myself

Yeah I'll be dead, sick, pissed and bitter
Trying to string a word together
Yeah well, we all know how it hurts
