lyrics
I feel my friends
Slip through the cracks
A backlog as big as ideas I've had
A little bit of me says I could have had
More years like there's if I'd just relax
I slave, alright, to feed a sound
Or more like a need to feel profound
Pretentious is what it will feel like right now
But some years from now when I'm still around
“Invested in my seed for better days
Scraped the bones of my first clavier
Oh how it felt good to face fears of failure”
Goddamn the fine if i say, succumb
Or if I try to leave before it is done
A little deficient in sleep for the month
But if you just heard the tales I have sung
To far too tell if I’ve come enough;
And those I have shed deserve to know:
The bleeding edge of such delirious hopes
Guts us through seams in our portrait pose
Unfurled along the loom, spun latter days,
Shapes the narrative thread of our decay
Oh when it’s finished you’ll know where to find me
Of all our roles one burns the most
The person I'd be if we killed the host
Our parasitic best who finds us alone
Fuel for the lives that he would condone
Don't fold on your cards
Hold haggard days
Crashed too fast to know what could have been
Oh how it feels good to face up to failure
Slip through the cracks
A backlog as big as ideas I've had
A little bit of me says I could have had
More years like there's if I'd just relax
I slave, alright, to feed a sound
Or more like a need to feel profound
Pretentious is what it will feel like right now
But some years from now when I'm still around
“Invested in my seed for better days
Scraped the bones of my first clavier
Oh how it felt good to face fears of failure”
Goddamn the fine if i say, succumb
Or if I try to leave before it is done
A little deficient in sleep for the month
But if you just heard the tales I have sung
To far too tell if I’ve come enough;
And those I have shed deserve to know:
The bleeding edge of such delirious hopes
Guts us through seams in our portrait pose
Unfurled along the loom, spun latter days,
Shapes the narrative thread of our decay
Oh when it’s finished you’ll know where to find me
Of all our roles one burns the most
The person I'd be if we killed the host
Our parasitic best who finds us alone
Fuel for the lives that he would condone
Don't fold on your cards
Hold haggard days
Crashed too fast to know what could have been
Oh how it feels good to face up to failure
