Distract Me

lyrics

Set up on my own
A little solitude would do me good
A self-sufficient, archetypal man
Thought I could be, but clearly I can’t

I put myself in an ugly cage
Filled with all the things I’ve thrown away

But I can’t see, but I can’t seem to be...

I can’t be alone
I can’t be alone anymore
Wash away your empty soul
A lived-long life that you let go
A hanging nail to bite off

Look upon your gated fields
All cratered, pockmarked--what a steal
All the things you want to know
They’re out, they’re gone, they’re blasted off

Some complicated odyssey
A tale of earth that I can’t read
I leave my life in your hands

I leave it in your hands

Distract me
The clouds will come
I’ll be undone
I’ve lost the function of the one

A scrawny kid with a rebel’s gait
Went through life in a hopeful haze
You used to be so bright and loud
But now you’ve grown and lost it all

Distract me
The clouds will come
I’ll be undone
I need your hand to thread me up

So thread me up

about

Fonewm Boston, Massachusetts

Fonewm's goal is to make electronic music that still feels like a band you've never heard of could be playing it in someone's basement.

I'm an ex-game designer and ex-indie rock kid, so my music combines both of those influences to make vocals-heavy indie rock by way of synthy, beat-driven sounds.
