lyrics

I’ve now got sixteen years of ideation that will not leave my head
Thanks to those who advocate for praying at the altar of modern man
Absorb it by osmosis, my organs playing all the chords
To the most hopeless songs ever written

There might be seven sins but you’d committed more than them
When they said your passion fled it was no wonder you were struggling
You took off on one final drive, we felt all our worst dreams arrive
Deep sleep panics; deep grief flares and I can’t close my eyes

Time is passing faster than I bargained for
You’ve been gone now half as long as I’ve been alive
At a few different moments I came close to goodbye
The deep sleep panics; that deep grief, man it still fucks with my mind

I take Armistice Curses and channel them into my verses
Fleshing out the words to make sense of your whole sad history
There’s infinite potential to make something substantial
Out of the deep sleep panics; bittersweet magic keeps fueling/fooling my drive

Time is passing faster than I bargained for
You’ve been gone now half as long as I’ve been alive
At a few different moments I came close to goodbye
The deep sleep panics; that deep grief, man it still fucks with my mind
