I Miss Playing Shows

from Home Recordings Vol. 1 by Adeem the Artist

lyrics

I miss playing shows where all the people listen,
laugh when it's appropriate, slap their dirty hands,
give me their money, take home a CD,
listen to it once or twice, throw it in the trash

I miss the highway, I miss combo's
I miss the lies we tell ourselves to feel important
I miss the smell of smoke in disenchanted bar rooms
and the sinking sense the zeitgeist has grown beyond my reach

I miss playing shows
sandwiched between writers that give me fight or flight
with the poetry they wrote
send me down into violent introspection
swap them stickers, then get back to the road

I miss the highway, I miss combo's
I miss the lies we tell ourselves to feel important
I miss the smell of smoke in disenchanted bar rooms
and the sinking sense the zeitgeist has grown beyond my reach

(actually that's an experience that never really leaves)
