Lyrics
I’m out of breath, I said what’s been said
But you fucking want to hear it
These days are long as our lives are cheap
As our words are cheap
Light as a feather
Heavier than grief
Dead words pouring like lies
Like these wasted nights
These fucking faces stripped bare
The skin pulled from their masks
Time after time abused and dismissed
The sympathy act can be hard to resist
Crippled defeated hearts reaching out
Bleeding them dry, outracing the doubt
Lost words
Are better lost
Desperate friends
At cheaper cost
None of this will fill the void
These lines have been said a thousand times
By those who have felt so much more than mine
By buried fools, romantics, and worthless cheats
Who all felt that terrible disease
Who’ve burned their letters and bridges, erased their youth
And made these days and invalid and untrue
Who abandoned their joy for grave marked pursuits
Who were cleansed in fear and would bear all they would lose
