lyrics

Make what you can
out of nothing
keep bluffing
your way to extinction
youre 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 cant stand to be near her
its bigger than that you realize
but short sided impulses
own whats left of your dignity

tell yourself quietly
dont plow the field yet
youre waiting to grow
a new life from restrospect
you know free agency pays little in the long run
but you just dont feel like your legs are that tired yet

friends and go betweens
sing like canaries crushed in leaves
is this the thanks you get
somewhere thats sweet
maybe someday we will meet
and I can thank you
without strings

all these before's
have been drilled on long after
its all just leverage
when you're sure that its over
the streets go blurry
like a movie that you saw once
minutes freeze
but you cant collect the corners 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've stacked your deck to lose
you say theres nothing you can do
well we all know youre lying

friends and go between
sing like canaries crushed in spring
is this the thanks you get
you get what you put in
I guess thats bullshit in the end
written under florescent lights
that replace
the sun
at night
