[Verse 1: Meredith Graves] |
|
Watch me, I'm kicking the wall |
|
I'll break through it before I go |
|
And leave a hole my shape in everything you know |
|
Death comes last to the party |
|
Meanwhile I'm biding my time |
|
So you can't take your own life |
|
That's cutting in line |
|
[Chorus 1: Meredith Graves] |
|
Fear not the big drag |
|
It's not that you're going to be lost |
|
It's just less likely that you'll be found |
|
Find someone to worship now |
|
The rest is silence, other, outside |
|
Below, beneath, and how - |
|
And petition against your imagination |
|
You don't know shit about me |
|
Focus on yourself |
|
And the choices you make |
|
Between your pleasure and growing up |
|
[Verse 2: Meredith Graves] |
|
Lovely, it's amazing |
|
How nothing ever changes |
|
I know that hurt can go on forever |
|
It strips the taste from the constellations |
|
I know nothing lasts forever |
|
I know that hurt can go on and on |
|
Cause I eat stress and I shit blood |
|
And buddy, I'll tell you, it never gets better |
|
[Chorus 2: Meredith Graves] |
|
When the ache gets too extreme, remember |
|
That this retreat from memory is your right |
|
And nothing's going to work |
|
Retreat from what you've come to know as right |
|
[Verse 3: Meredith Graves] |
|
He steps to the dress and my skin |
|
Hell ripped the fucking river open |
|
To some other world they dragged me |
|
I have a history of surrender |
|
Part of a certain set of choices |
|
Found among the many paths |
|
Forged by lies I told myself |
|
Lies like 'I will be protected' |
|
Lies like 'death might forget me' |
|
Like 'home is where I'm never invited' |
|
Like 'my voice provides a light' |
|
Like 'I can have everything I want before I die' |
