I've been asleep so long.
I’m barely breathing
And your voice is gone.
It’s like silent screaming.
Tried to bite my tongue,
Now im bleeding out one more song
About the death of me.
Now I see so clearly.
I know my funeral’s next weekend but
If you've got plans I'll be understanding ‘cause
Our glass was empty but it seemed full to me.
It only took 10 years to see what you see.
So let's pretend the worst was only a dream
‘Cause I don't wanna face what's coming.
If it was only that easy.
I picked you up outside
With your words still repeating.
Are the purple lights worth all the drinking?
But I know I’m wrong.
I’ve been your enemy far too long;
Stuck in a memory.
Now I see so clearly
I know my funeral’s tomorrow but
If you've got plans I'll be understanding ‘cause
Our glass was empty but it seemed full to me.
It only took 10 years to see what you see.
So let's pretend the worst was only a dream
‘Cause I don't wanna face what's coming.
If it was only that easy.
If it was only that easy.
So sick of the lying; sick of the crying.
I can't forgive myself for watching us burn.
So fuck all the fighting; the shit we’ve been hiding.
I still remember us the way that we were.
The way that we were.
Our glass was empty but it seemed full to me.
It only took 10 years to see what you see.
So let's pretend the worst was only a dream
‘Cause I don't wanna face what's coming.
No, I don't wanna face what's coming.
If it was only that easy.
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
