lyrics

I’m standing in a breeze above your grave
The obituary read that you found solace in your faith
A bullet in the chest
I’ve dreamt the same
Betrayed by an unfamiliar state

The point is to not be confused

To radically accept a passing phase
Is how I’ve come to know my age
Now I’ve come to know my age (x2)

Where we wrote our names last April is all frozen over
There’s a flutist in the distance playing songs I can’t recall
Drag my feet across the rocks and now they’re cold and dripping
I can feel it I can see it and it’s all I focus on
Now I’m older I’ve been reaching for a stronger purpose
But maybe it’s just a misconception and it drags me in again
But I am confident and walking and no longer freezing
I am confident I’m walking and I’m barely cold
I am older I am walking and no longer freezing

In this house
It speaks
It sings
In this house

A sober sight
A parasite
The bones are sunken in the face
Solace turns to emptiness
My shadow paints a scene I can’t erase

The light from the candle on the floor next to my bed
A choir sings in the parking lot outside my window
The door is locked now
And I am scared but I have to go to bed
