Lyrics

Make what you can out of nothing
Keep bluffing your way to extinction
You're a sick fuck to think that this
Unlike anything else will last forever
Building rock anthems, no jigsaw exterior
You see what you miss, but you can't stand to be near
Her, it's bigger than you realize
But short-sighted impulses own what's left of your dignity
Tell yourself quietly, "Don't plow the field yet
You're waiting to grow some new life from retrospect"
You know free agency pays little in the long run
But you just don't feel like your legs are that tired yet
Friends and go-betweens sing like canaries crushed in leaves
This is the thanks you get?
Somewhere that's sweet, maybe someday we will meet
And I can thank you without strings
All these befores that get drilled on long after
It's all just leverage when you're sure that it's over
The streets go blurry like a movie that you saw once
Minutes freeze, but you can't collect the quarters still
She used to whisper your name like a refrain
And when she held you, you know you felt safer
But your demons are fucking huge, you stack your deck to lose
You say there's nothing you can do
Well we all know you're lying
Friends and go-betweens sing like canaries crushed in spring
This is the thanks you get?
You get what you put in, I guess that's bullshit in the end
Written under fluorescent lights that replace the sun at night
Written by: Kind of Like Spitting
