The National

The National is an indie rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The band's lyrics, which have been described as "dark, melancholy and difficult to interpret", are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: twins Aaron (guitar and keyboard) and Bryce Dessner (guitar) and Scott (bass) and Bryan Devendorf (drums). The National has been compared to Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Wilco and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The name of the band was chosen because it "didn't mean anything" and was "benign and meaningless". more »

I cannot believe what you get away with
You find beauty in anything
Whenever you look down into a sewer
You see a diamond ring
It isn't fair how you never
Look like you're trying
As if you couldn't care any less
And I'm here kicking myself
To keep from crying you say you're impressed

But this isn't helping at all
It only makes me wanna get further off
This isn't helping at all this isn't helping

You can say that this doesn't have to hurt
You're there if you need to be found
Can't you see that that makes
It so much worse? I'll always see you around
Maybe in time, we can give it one morе try
But let's think about what matters now
Keep kicking yourself to keep from crying
That, you'rе so right about

'Cause this isn't helping at all
I know you think it's kindness, but it's not
This isn't helping at all this isn't helping

Don't say that it's all your fault
I know you're backing it at it coming up
But would your life be so bad
If you knew every single thought I had?
'Cause I only have two things to say to you
But you say things about everything, babe
Well, just when I thought
You don't even notice me at all

'Cause this isn't helping at all
It only makes me wanna get further off
This isn't helping at all this isn't helping
This isn't helping at all
I know you think it's kindness, but it's not
This isn't helping at all this isn't helping
