lyrics

whisper in a soft tone just loud enough to hear
singing all the wrong notes when the key becomes unclear
these long days are always wearing on my back
the struggle gets muffled, buried under laughs

how do you feel all right?
burning through the day to light the night
like some beacon of hopeless you hoped to never to be
can't edit the spaces left behind by you and me
baby, I'm asleep tonight, so finish the story
even though I closed eyes, keep reading for me

my body's an edge and that makes sense to me
held against some ledge it's suicide geometry
target practice, been taking shots for years
at myself, my health and happiness and peers

how do you feel uptight?
with lips so loose and an open mind
it's the framework for an abstract perfect storm
making out in raindrops cleansing who you were
maybe I caused grief tonight, I've never been boring
achievements mirror the strife, blue skies storming

our blood is not the fuel, our soul it has no spark
friends are just a compass, asterisks of where we are
it's great to never grow up and it sucks to never die
because a plant that never flowers is a weed one way described
these hallways are always endless as they stretch
from Monday to someday, lived this life, what's next?
