lyrics

[Chorus]
Framed images of every single screwup
Cover the walls of where I grew up
Taping over happy memories I never knew of
The old me stumbles into new ruts
(x2)

[Verse 1]
Fleeting faces of fear forever baked in the wood grain
Shaped by my frail fingers spilling polyurethane
Transient moments of aimless tripping
Expiration date’s caked on the wall
Gripping glints of her forgiving fables keeping callous inner cadences calm
Small scathing assaults
Staring at the ceiling, tracing every crevice and crack
Relish in the confines
Craft my own limits, algorithm conditioned to blemish the facts
Slight typos in permanent ink my torso
Distorted short stories hoarded in the corner
Daily reading ‘til my space on this earth has been foreclosed
For now, it’s the last page that shredded my sore throat
Organic damage never being processed
Scorching and shifting floating stepping stones grade progress
Can’t move on, can’t stop yet
Slip, and I’ll drop dead

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Every scream is choreographed in guttural ballrooms
Yet I smile out of the side of my mouth
Fall through every spin of the globe
Young, withering bones I withdraw to
Four-by-six photogenic vestiges of different eras
Yellow serif timestamps, still imperiled
These feral hands hold on while the years roll
Wringing out an elegy of scraps from these real old

[Chorus]
(x3)
