lyrics

Woke up drunk next to no one
Showered and shaved while my skin was still soft
Time heals all wounds but it also inflicts them
Still got some bandaids that I haven’t peeled off

There were hummingbirds busking in the cutthroat buzz of the dawn
I’m afraid that I’m becoming the person who I was all along
And whatever the roads here are paved with
They all lead to the same shit

So lead me on into temptation
Come on and show me what I’m working against
Meanwhile I’m watching you bury your father
At least in the figurative sense

We caught fragments of rain as they fell from a half-written sky
We shared an umbrella but it only kept one of us dry
And sons whose mothers used to sing them to sleep
Keep a lullaby rhythm when they’re grinding their teeth

One of us was searching for a half-decent reason to live
One of us was finding in the other just the opposite
And not next week but the week after that
We’re gonna get to that place if they’ll welcome us back
