and with your mouth full of coffin nails, burning ships' masts set to sail. on september 9th we put you in the ground. and when my voice cuts off so quick as i'm choking on my own spit. well my hands feel empty when i think of you.
so think of me as a distant ghost, think of me like i'm low and broke and i'm always wondering "why wasn't it me?" and when i see you in my dreams smiling, sober, and set free. well i can't help but feel my blood in my broken teeth.
and when i finally said goodbye, there were no tears left in my eyes. i must have lost them in your corpse's stare towards god. so when i walk down our old street, i can't but stare at my feet where your bright blue converse used to stand next to me.
so think of me as a distant ghost, think of me like i'm low and broke and i'm always wondering "why wasn't it me?" and when i see you in my dreams smiling, sober, and set free. well i can't help but feel my blood in my broken teeth.
at nights i can't sleep, forever haunted by the shattered glass and the torn skin, and your 98 mazda drowning in our glacial lake. i swear sometimes i still hear your voice, frail and tired, optimistic and sweet. and when i turn around and you're not there i feel another sentence of yours lost to memory. well i remember you, i remember your laugh and your face and the way you said we'd be alright. we'd be alright. we'll be alright.
nothing will be alright now that you're not alive.
i'm no good so i'll let everyone else do the talking abt how great this album is bc i have more important things to talk abt like that it was recorded in my hometown!! i was walkin around a stupid little ten-year-old and they were in the stu makin this album less than a mile from my house!! what!!!!!
