"Career Day" by Keaton Henson

Brand new trembling beauty from Keaton Henson (previously here), just released day before yesterday.

"Career Day."

I am devastated by this. Slain.



I'm an astronaut, baby
I work in the night
I'm a certain kinda crazy
I live in my mind

I'm a deep sea diver
I find ways to breathe
I'm deep undercover
I don't look like me

I'm paper-thin
Just break me in

I'm a part time mortician
I cannot shake death
And I'm an aging physician
Ain't got much healin' left

I'm a character actor
I feed myself wine
But it leaves me pretty good at
Pretending I'm fine

I'm paper-thin
Just break me in

I'm a struggling comedian
I can't find the laughs
I'm a poor mathematician
I do things by halves

I'm a weekday dancer
Can't kick the movement from my shoes
I'm a heartless casino
I win when you lose

I'm paper-thin
Just break me in
