Trial and Error

by An English Place

/

about

First song recorded in nyc. Started in atlanta, finished in brooklyn.

lyrics

I'm trying to find a thread here
keep having naked dreams that i cant wake up from
I'm sorry if i rushed this
it's just a habit of mine and I'm sorry for it
i know you're moving on
i get it
if it were different than i would have been adamant
but I've already forced it
I've already forced it

Trial and error and error and error again
Learn from mistakes get inventive make different mistakes
How many times could you possibly get it all wrong
Before you stumble on something that you could build your life around?

You gotta have some doubts now
Why start a project when you know you can't finish it?
How long before a sense of futility sets in and you walk away?
You say you're scared of what harm can be done
if this is dragged out could the damage be permenant?
You're not afraid of the cut
You're afraid of the scar

Trial and error and error and error again
Learn from mistakes get inventive make different mistakes
How many times could you possibly get it all wrong
Before you stumble on something that you could build your life around?

Better to be quiet
and be picked over
than be a liar
and learn how to live it
the flick of a lighter
the sight of a stiff drink
the more that you want it
the less that it exists
you were an actor
and i was a big fan
can't i got smarter
but i learned my lesson
set fire to the underbrush
to encourage growth
and the winds picked up
right as i ran out of water
