Lyrics

They're paying me thirteen an hour
To peel the stickers off the bathroom stalls
And I'm grateful for the work
But I can't tell if they look better or worse
Than when I started
Beauty can be frustrating
All the effort it takes to maintain it
I will build an effigy to all the things
That I used to believe
Some objects look their best when they are burning
I didn't cope with winter well
And now I'm living in my mother's basement again
I found this old photograph where I'm dressed up as Caesar
At my first Halloween
And for a second I was the center of the universe
But I've been spiraling out ever since
I guess they should have just
Dressed me up as an astronaut instead
I will write a eulogy for all the things
That I could have been
Maybe it's for the best
Those dreams are dead
'Cause I would have been a terrible president
And maybe an even worse anarchist
I just hope something gorgeous grows from the dirt
[Instrumental]
Though the walls are closing in, the windows are too
And though the blinds are shut too tight for the light to get through
Our eyes will adjust to the darkness
And what surrounds us will come into full view
When it does I'm glad, that movement wasn't monsters
But was you
So let's sing out the only hymn that still means anything
We are broken but
We are healing
