Your years will pass you by in braids of smoke.
Keeping what you can in the cup of your hands.
Your years will linger in the fabrics of your clothes.
Settle in the folds and sheets of your bed.
There as a scent
to remind you of the hazy games
memory can play.
No one cared to warn you your days would
slowly plot against you.
Taking what they can.
Your feelings of forever sprang a leak.
Spitting out your youth in constant waves of weeks.
This is it.
Your complex contest to feel content.
Taking what you can get
This is it.
Your complex contest,
with your army of grey days
on the march.
At best, you'll find new ways to mute the monotony.
At best, you'll try and forget.
At best, you'll push 60.
Sleeping at night properly.
Coping with the possibility
the extent to your life has all been lived out.
i'm no good so i'll let everyone else do the talking abt how great this album is bc i have more important things to talk abt like that it was recorded in my hometown!! i was walkin around a stupid little ten-year-old and they were in the stu makin this album less than a mile from my house!! what!!!!!
