lyrics

Scribble out the mistakes
There’s no eraser where we’re headed. Just booze and holograms
Of plans we once made And things we used to have
And there’s no sense in Making sense of all the mess we made
The sorrow that follows you
Is not a cloud you need to face But a wrinkly sort of taste
Of a shadow set in place That slowly lengthens your gait
Until you come upon Your final resting place

When you face the bitter draft, Your demons will never last
Still it’s never coming back
It’s never coming back
It’s never coming back again

The being that you once claimed Is now disfigured and maimed
An androgynous soup with no reclaim
The primal squeak, your just an animal in pain
It doesn’t mean you insane It doesn’t mean that you hurt more That you deserve more
And the idea of a flirtatious beck and call
That been served due to how you felt in high school halls
You’re not that special,, you’re just a little too caught up with being

Part 3:
You can thumb through the past The lamentations of an angry lad
Who fingered his wounds and scabs Until the skin had nothing to flap
And all you were left with was anti-happiness
And a misplaced feeling of superiority
And you will flirt with the dark Heading back to that ancient land
The empty hollow that follows sad And the overwhelm of hopelessness
And when the void looks beautiful,
Just keep on being
When you face the bitter draft,
Your demons will never last
Still it’s never coming back
It’s never coming back
It’s never coming back again

You stole it all Feel cold then rebound
Its home, it’s just your least favorite room
It’s the sweet release, its just not coming home so soon
It’s your evil twin, with no mustache
It’s a deep gaping wound with no blood in the gash
Every second that you lived, is a second that you stole
From the sorrow shaped ghost that follows you home
It’s a solemn foot race and you don’t have to beat them, you just need to keep pace
