i'm so sick
with the grace
so tired that i
could probably just
sleep for days
and days
got nothing to miss
nothing but time to waste (away)
you can say you're sorry
(i'm sorry, forgive me, i'm sorry)
say goodbye (i'm sorry)
or nothing at all
cause nothing at all
is all that's on your mind
don't want to be a bother
there isn't any other way
buried in the bottle
there isn't any other way

i've lost
lost control
from my head down to my
to my testicles
my legs just keep on
keep on walking
don't know where they're headed
they've got no place to go
don't know where i'm headed
got not place to go
plant the seeds to trip all night
i swear that it will be alright
plant the seeds to trip all night
i swear that it will be alright
trippin' ourselves out of this death race

you had to die someday
you had to die some ways
are better than others
mostly the same
put out on display
dressed to the nines
unlike your life
you seem at peace
unlike your life
we're all relieved
except for your mother
who loves you same
despite the shame
you brought on her name
you brought on the name
of your father
while your sisters and brothers
wonder why the bothered
to dig you a hole
inscribe a stone
with these kind words
you'd never have heard
some days are better than others
but mostly the same
put out on display
dressed to the nines
smiling for dear life

don't bother tryna match up your socks
or turning back your clocks
call it exploration but you're really just lost
everything you needed but nothing that you cared about
the streets are corridors
full of hallways, doors, and stairs
think you're making progress, you ain't heading anywhere
everything you needed but nothing that you cared about

indefinitely

take all your ghosts and leave this place
take all your friends and leave
there's only one ghost that's holy and true
fight if you want, you're doomed
indefinitely, doomed to repeat, indefinitely
saddle up your saw horse
chop that shit in half
break it down for firewood
toss the axe in instead
indefinitely, doomed to repeat, indefinitely
my skin it is thin
i swear i can see right through it
but there's not much to see
just black lung and weeds
growing inside these ruins
indefinitely, doomed to repeat, indefinitely
