Degenerates - I The Mighty

Another morning I wake up without exception

Though I guess now it’s closer to the afternoon

And I am not the first one up as is tradition

But the last to go sleep along with you

And I breathe in the scent of coffee from the kitchen

I hear the laughter spilling from the other room

And so I drag my body up and join the living

A warm reception almost right on cue

I never would have thought it could ever be this good

And I know each moment’s fleeting

But right now I feel like I’m right where I should be

I am not a perfect man, I fuck up often

At least I never have to wonder why I came

If you’re honest with yourself, I’ll bet it’s painful

But you and I are far less different than they say

So where do you fit in?

So where do you fit in?

Another night the sun goes down without exception

I hear The Matches playing from the other room

It’s been a day since I have glanced at my reflection

No words of judgment coming from our crew

We start a fire just as the stars arrive

And I am lost within the flames

Until a touch from you brings me back

To what feels like the perfect day

So why is it you think some people never feel alive?

Don’t they know each moment’s fleeting?

I can’t help but feeling I’m right where I should be

I am not a perfect friend or perfect lover

Oh, I admit sometimes I have too many drinks

But we are all degenerates, half on the inside

And you and I are far less different than they say

So where do you fit in?

So where do you fit in?

I think I found my place to fill that empty space

That feeling we all chase (So where do you fit in?)

And we can sing off-key, as long as we all sing, we sing it beautifully

My head was heavy with thoughts when I got home

I started to focus on my fears, I thought of dying alone

But how I hate to get caught in pointless thought

Self-pity gets me nowhere

I guess we’ve all got things we’re still working out

I think I found my place

I think I found my place

I think I found my place

I think I found my place
