lyrics

why do I try this again
this life wasted pretending
if we all end up alone
a prison we all call home

you seem sad
as if every question answered is bad
well you're the one who asked
am I wrong?

and when it's done
I'll leave it all for dead and gone
buried here with a song
all the while
you've escaped
and everything you do will go with words you never say
everyone's (not) you

I am
the fool
who stayed
cleaning the mess you made
I'd walk for miles
and days
take back each word and phrase

it doesn't change
forget it
i'm not dealing with you now
the same as before
say nothing
pretend to ignore
I would trade with you any day
so it seems

seems we're both forgotten

so it seems
it doesn't change whatever this means
I guess there's really no point
no one cares
if it's a dream then I will wake and it won't mean a thing
to anyone here but it's okay
they're not real
and I know
that you'd be better off alone
it's a shame because I know
everyone's (not) you

we've always been snakes by the sake of our fathers
our hands and legs
feet and arms never evolved
we looked out into the nights sky and spheres of hydrogen
we gave them names and purpose

and we said there was no god
because we don't want to be controlled
it's a zeitgeist
it's a veil over our eyes
we'll always be snakes
without gardens to tread
like a needle and thread
we are beggars and deserve nothing we take
all we accomplish is diminished by the setting of the sun
in a sky
that will never
belong to us

and the truth is
I can't make you do something
you don't want
or convince you to stay here

so long
you can go whenever
you're no prisoner
I have chained myself
down here

if we're wrong
there's no point
there's no point
to this life
to this love
if we're wrong

if we're wrong
