Catching Strays Lyrics

Prying eyes make for dire times

And in dire times I make up wild lies

When you ask me how I'm doing, I'll say "fine"

But fine doesn't really cover what's on my mind

I act okay and convince myself I'm alright

I'm just catching strays when the bullets start to fly

I decide to say I think it might be time

To pull them out and just bleed until I die

I'll try my best not to ruin your night

But I can't help it when I spoil your wine

I'd love to be your friend, but I'm out of line

Won't you get me out of my shell, I've become so blind

I act okay and convince myself I'm alright

I'm just catching strays when the bullets start to fly

I decide to say I think it might be time

To pull them out and just bleed until I die
