Hocus Pocus by Thee More Shallows Lyrics

[Verse]
It does knock me out
No view’s so new inside or out
I replay it and move ahead
Nothing to do but stay at it
Oh I focus
Everything’s the same if I don’t concentrate
On the hocus pocus
It’s all shifting shapes that you can’t trace

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it in the details?
I don’t know
Ok, then is it in the shadows that play?
I don’t know
Alright, then is it just an empty space?
Dave, I can’t say either way
When you ignore the faces of everyone you’ve ever known
Old and new
Projecting love
Protecting it too…
Doesn’t that sound true?
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’ve been focusing on the wrong things
Haven’t you?
You’ve been
Focusing on the "what" when
You should be focusing on the "who"
You should be
Focusing on the "who"
And do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you? oh

[Verse]
Oh lordy, I’m born again and again
So much I’m getting bored of it
I’m letting nothing sink in
‘Cause I’m over it I don’t hope for a change
That’s a cry for help in an empty brain
Disconnected but still tuned in
To the painfulness is this a test?
I don’t know

[Pre-Chorus]
And if so is it pass or fail?
I don’t know about that
Is it so poorly made that you can’t even tell?
Dave, I can’t say either way
When you ignore the places
Where everyone you never knew
And were related to
Lived their truth
Died for it too
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’ve been focusing on the wrong things
Haven’t you?
You’ve been
Focusing on the "what" when
You should be you should be focusing on the "who"
You should be
Focusing on the who
And do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
And do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
Do it for us, won’t you?
