lyrics

In latter days I felt dead to reflection
Six days to decades I hold hope in this grave
When will this tired age ever fucking end for me?
When every early death still makes sense to me
And every tree-wrapped car doesn’t envy me
This time in sunset I see
A cold case you-and-me tragedy

And it’s almost fucking sad to see
Torn-body as ill-equipped as this travesty
I am the cynic without a voice
I am the lonely child without a choice
Just some sucker with a thing for those left for dead
Hangs head to desperate lovers
With guilt of rape inside their beds
But it’s when you fucking ran for cover
That my heart took aim like a gun
Incapable savior of victims of this fucking slum
My words only a mid-air signal to the gods
Who just turn the fuck away

This was the pillar of false hope that I prayed would mark my grave
And you were the only one I thought my love could fucking save

Every dead-end suburban road is crying out for you
I’m standing at the water’s edge and the memories still burn right through
Every song is testament to how long I’ve tried to forget you
All I have are the recollections of glances across crowded rooms
They’re constant reminder of all that I could never do

Every god damn breath I breathe is yours
Forever in wishing that I never would have met you
I’d be living without the pain of having to lose you
It’s not that we were never good enough
What’s meant to be has an expiration date
All the times we’ll never have again
Will playback forever inside of me
