lyrics
and now you see, the cold beak,
the webbed feet, you're not asleep,
and now it's time for you to leave,
don't come back you're dead to me,
once again you start to shake,
the next day you're still awake,
body parts in bad shape, you'll never take that first taste.
on the trail, i got lost,
the wrong way home is where i've gone,
the street light shines down into the gun,
there's not much left so you get none,
burning houses in the sun,
it makes no sense to try to run,
the late shift is already done,
i promise you're the only one.
why did it drag me so deep?
dead weight in the back seat, it used to be me.
this is just a figment of pulsing pain,
you wear it like a suit that you wore in shame.
welcome to this delicate insignificant place to bury this game,
and you never did play but it's too late because it happened anyway.
soaked through, it's never too late.
sold you, it's never too late. (repeat)
