lyrics

Cover my eyes, this is killing me
Sit in silence, snow is gathering
Cut off your hair, you don't act the same

Branching off and independently
You found souther hospitality
I stayed north, the cold keeps me alert

We used to make mistakes and love it
Self-destruction tamed? Far from it
You said sleep was for the lame and lonely

"It's complicated."
Not so honestly, you told me while dozing off on me
Dry in my mouth, but I don't mind the taste

Close my lips, not like you'd listen
Mixing wine with your prescriptions
What fault in my design drew me to you?

My lungs are blacker
Have you noticed you always haunt me at my lowest?
It was not the distance
It was you

Now you're lyrics in a song about a singular girl
Who will not make any more of an impact on my world
You can try to think you meant something, but you'd just be indulging
You are particles and elements, all slowly decomposing
I couldn't handle your worst, now I can't stand you at your best
I would have blamed it on myself but I know I don't know what's best
Now I can't watch certain films
I can't listen to the songs that we screamed in my car with the volume on all the way
I would have gone all the way and back
To the moon
