lyrics

Can’t say why I don’t trust you
Can’t say why I don’t trust myself
I really need to stop thinking
My emotions are something to quell

If truth was known in the afterlife dear
Would you be less afraid to die?
If you were less afraid to die dear
Would you be less afraid to live?
I should have bought you flowers
Let you in on all my power

There’s no wind in my hair
When I don’t move
I don’t feel the grass right there
But I want to

There’s no wind in my hair when I don’t move
And I know that the way that I look at you
Can feel stale sometimes I don’t mean it to
And I don’t know why I do the things

The sun on the earth knows no bounds
Save for the deep blue sea all the way down
And the parts of my soul I don’t let it go
While I wallow and flit about
On a long sad day in May
The one where my being first entered the fray
Why are we born of a mess then forced to clean up
You must be perfect, but also confess
Cause the guilt I instilled in your eyes
Is roaring like a flame caught just at sunrise
And it’s all too much for one child to hold
A dead bird doesn’t get very old
Doesn’t get very old

I believed you when you said it’d be fun
