lyrics

Today, I lost my friends
I lost them all
I left them all to dust

I pushed them out my stead
I got on with life
I moved on with time, no surprise

Sycophants will notice I'm not always good
I cut deeper than roots
When I try, I'm a fire reaching higher

Your heart's in the way
How can I get away?
I'll leave you all alone
Just please let me go

Shattered glass, we've all made this mess
How am I only left to repair what you've kept?
Disillusionment, intelligence -- full of shit
You're the kiss that Death missed
As you retweet your sins

Don't expect to hear
I'm nowhere sorry for my crimes
Your heart's in the way
How can I get away?
Your scars will heal, they'll heal over your pain
I'll leave you all alone
Just please let me go

Light up the match
We can burn this down for days
Bury me in the ground
And watch me slip away

All this time you were rolling dice
Searching for a sign
Of where you fit in
Where you might matter
It wasn't here all along

Here's to you, I know it's early
You'll want this drink when I'm gone
When I have tamed all the sirens
When I have cleared this brushfire
