lyrics

Take your fistful of those plastic chips
Release them from sweaty fingertips
All on black, wait, I take it back

I’m made of lists and inconsistencies
Half-baked plans and trite mysteries
Less than the sum of their parts?

A shifting state
Not here to stay
A moment where it all fits into place

A polaroid in scorching sun
Just fading out, coming undone
What is so hard about just starting again?

I’m bone tired, I’m exhausted
I can’t not pull on ​that same thread
But being late’s the new early and ​I’ve got time

I’m primed with matches and gasoline
(The Americanism fit the rhyming scheme)
Either way, it burns the same

I at least deserved a better nemesis
Than this backward-faced doppelganger, this...
You don’t get what you want ​
You get what you need

Now I’m clean
In moments of clarity
Snatched microseconds in the inbetween

A billion exploding stars at night
Drowned out by a buzzing streetlight
How can anyone find energy to try?

Like an unrelenting echo
Didn’t you hear the one​ about tomorrow?
The one about how everything will ​get better?

Slip into the cycle again
Can it be broken? Is it the end?

A billion exploding stars at night
Drowned out by a buzzing streetlight
How can anyone find energy to try?

Like an unrelenting echo
Didn’t you hear the one​ about tomorrow?
The one about how everything will ​get better?
