Joseph Arthur (born September 28, 1971) is an American singer-songwriter and artist from Akron, Ohio. Combining poetic lyrics with a layered sonic palette, Arthur has built his reputation over the years through critically acclaimed releases and constant touring; his unique solo live performances incorporate the use of a number of distortion and loop pedals, and his shows are recorded live at the soundboard and made available to concertgoers immediately following the show on recordable media.

Give less than I take
Dream you up as anything
I have no memory
Every moment, eternally

I want to try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else

I cut myself
But no blood came
And no one helped
Strings that we can't see
Puppet you
And puppet me

I want to try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else

And you don't know
What its like to try
To change where you go
And break the lie
And you never show
What its like inside
To raise your nose
And break your pride

Hearts crack like canes
As children break the spider's legs
Strays out in our yards
Of buried bones and boulevards

I want to try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else
