Easier Each Time

from Free by Jon Crocker

lyrics

We were the ones who swore we’d never kneel, we’d never wear a suit.
The only one I’ve worn is the one I rented for you.
I’m still not sure of the way to tie a tie, the way to shine my shoes,
and in that ignorance I’ll gladly take some pride.

The suited six of us will see you off, will say, “So long, my friend.”
A shove into the unknown, except I know just how it will end:
there’s one less fist in the air, there’s two less lungs screaming at the man,
there’s one less one of us to feed our need to stand.

Chorus:
Giving up just one more dream gets easier each time.
Expecting less from your days and weeks gets easier each time.
Letting slip who you thought you’d be gets easier each time…
the constant compromise…
if this life isn’t mine, who did I give it up to?

You might find comfort in the knowledge that you’re really not alone.
I signed you up for a club called “Burying your soul.”
And once you’ve paid your dues, it’s doubtful that you’ll ever get it back,
and if you do you’ll find it’s been chewed full of holes.

Repeat Chorus.

I saved some spirits we had before they aged, before they knew the truth.
If you come back around, there should be enough for you,
too.
