lyrics

I heard about letting past loves be
I heard elsewhere about chasing the muse
So, regrettably, here I am with another song for you
Not that you had a choice
I've got time and a...

"A constant pain in your lower back
Your hairline recedes and your lips are cracked
I'm ageing well while you're ageing bad[ly]
But here I am in my emptiness"
With nothing to gain
And everything to lose

I look just alive enough to not pass for the dead
My jawline left me but my colour's returning
My head is good
I'm getting up, out, and I'm moving on
You should too

"A constant pain in your lower back
Your hairline recedes and your lips are cracked
I'm ageing well while you're ageing bad[ly]
But here I am in my emptiness
A constant pain in your lower back
Our friendship recedes as my presence lacks
I'm ageing well while you're ageing bad[ly]
But here I am in my emptiness"
With nothing to gain
And everything to lose

"My head like a faraday cage
Ain't nothing getting in or out these days"
-Is that your best excuse
-I've heard it all before
-Because you say it all the time
-That it's "how you like it" but be honest...
"But it's how I like it, to be honest"
