you said it's all gonna change on this day
you scratched the date into the wall
we tossed the bed from the room
and sat down on the floor
I never really thought to ask why
'cause with you it all made sense to me
and I wish sometimes I was more like you
I'm never comfortable with letting go
we just sat all night and had a little fight
about the politics of Reagan Youth
man, you took a lot of shit when we were in school
but all these mother fuckers..
they could never touch you
and the words they said
never really added up to anything
and i wouldn't bet
any of us really knew your suffering
but we did not lie when we said
we'll be together because I can't do this on my own
what if i would have said please stay
or is another moment just too long
one final chance to protect you myself
like when you taught me that its ok
if I feel like breaking down
but what's it take to make you come around
and the words they said
never really added up to anything
and I wouldn't bet
any of us really knew your suffering
but we did not lie when we said
we did not lie when we said
we'll be together
fear eats the soul
and it swallowed.. swallowed me whole
things got confusing
and I thought i was losing the both of you
but that night you promised me
that this was unending
and no one believed it
but it was all that we needed
to be fine
I've been jamming out to this album since 2015. It's awesome, not a bad track. Favorites are Pure, Your Sweetness, Absolution, and Supersonic Home. artaxdies
