lyrics

The days are getting stranger, and the air out here feels heavy
I ride my bike all night with just the cold white stars for company
Singing songs that have no meaning to drive away these dark thoughts
Like, what’s left for the poor boy who got everything he asked for

And is now stuck staring at the suburbs, wondering if you’re still awake
Neath the soft glow of the streetlight, I think it’s more than I can take
And of all the awful shit for which to so desperately yearn
Why’d it have to be the comfort of a moment to which we never could return?

And when the grass grows through the cracks across the lives that we once knew
What will be the point of all the time I gave to you?

I never asked the reason why you looked at me so strange
Hoping still you’d call me lover, as though nothing ever changed
I slowly turned to stone as we sat trying to make pretend
As though this life could ever compete with the visions in our heads

And when the grass grows through the cracks across the love that we once knew
What will be the point of all the shit we suffered through?
When every shred of evidence cements a concrete truth
The universe is unkind, it cares not for me and you
We’re going to have to just make do
