Hard Of Hearing Lyrics
Another evening spent in the corners of my brain
Where I wander off into the dark
And I close my eyes and hope the wolves won't follow me
But hope's hard of hearing
So I'm waiting for the teeth
I had to learn that the helping hand can be the same that holds the knife
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
You gotta learn how to take your hits when your hands are always tied
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
I memorize the ceiling with a fire at my feet
While I give myself advice that I can't keep
I no longer ask myself what any of this means
I just want my mind to quit so I can finally fall asleep
Yeah I'm just waiting for my mind to quit so I can finally fall asleep
I kept falling for the broken wing because I couldn't pick the fight
But don't believe them when they tell you that the bird won't bite
I can't tell you if it got this way or if it started as a lie
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
I kept falling for the broken wing because I couldn't pick the fight
But don't believe them when they tell you that the bird won't
I had to learn that the helping hand can be the same that holds the knife
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
Where I wander off into the dark
And I close my eyes and hope the wolves won't follow me
But hope's hard of hearing
So I'm waiting for the teeth
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
You gotta learn how to take your hits when your hands are always tied
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
While I give myself advice that I can't keep
I no longer ask myself what any of this means
I just want my mind to quit so I can finally fall asleep
Yeah I'm just waiting for my mind to quit so I can finally fall asleep
But don't believe them when they tell you that the bird won't bite
I can't tell you if it got this way or if it started as a lie
I know I'm not well but I'm alright
But don't believe them when they tell you that the bird won't
I had to learn that the helping hand can be the same that holds the knife
I know I'm not well but I'm alright

Ben's explanation:
He tells us the song “is about the awkward middle period, that space where you don’t feel well at all, but you can outwardly function again. I learned from regular work with a therapist that you usually understand things long before you feel them, and that can create a sense of limbo. That limbo is where this song lives.”
