David Bazan & Passenger String Quartet

Lost My Shape Lyrics

You used to feel like a smoker shivering in the cold
Waiting outside the bar till the opener's over
But now you feel like a drinker, 20 days off the sauce
Down at the liquor store trying to call your sponsor
You used to feel like the forest fire burning

But now you feel like a child throwing tantrums for your turn



You used to sound like a prophet

And everyone wanted to know

How you could tell the truth without losing that soft glow

But now you feel like a salesman closing another deal

Or some drunk ship captain raging after the white whale



You used to feel like a forest fire burning

But now you feel like a child throwing tantrums and then some



You used to feel like the prodigal returning

But now, now you hate what you've made

And you want to watch it burn
