about
A little tribute to a lost art.
lyrics
Trace, copy, glue, paste a new
Page into place and you
Made your case, said what you
Needed to say
But it's not like you were ever brave,
Playing someone else's game
I'm making zines you'll never see
They don't get published, they just sleep
In boxes buried underneath
The clutter of lives
Representing what I'll never be in your eyes
But what I am in more than dreams not realized
Make copies, who copies who?
Feel so fake, but what makes it you
Who gets a say
Over people, anyway?
It's not like you were ever free,
Living someone else's dream
I'm making zines you'll never see
They don't get published, they just sleep
In boxes buried underneath
The clutter of lives
Representing what I'll never be in your eyes
But what I am in more than dreams not realized
Oh, but one day
Oh, but one day
Oh, but one day you will see
Oh, but one day
Oh, but one day
Oh, but one day you will see
Trace, copy, glue, paste a new
Page into place and drew
What I am from what was made
