I didn't know what this track was about until I got 80% of the way through and then apparently I was like "oh. well, better make the last lines blatantly obvious then"
lyrics
I dreamt that I was in the way
of progress, of the day to day
and while I looked the other way
I longed to be what is
I lied ‘cause it was easier
than trying to make a change, so sure
I might have weaponized the cure
I drowned in shallow pools
did you feel me on yr face when you were gone
do I need to be replaced
‘cause you are horn and I am ivory
and I don’t deserve your sympathy
save some face, that’s yr philosophy
leave this mess of lies and irony
I like it when I get fucked up
I recognize yr time is up
and everything is looking up
except I’m always falling up
this conversation’s made of shit
it’s hazy since the accident
I wish you’d read me what you sent
it might sound better that way
it’d be nice if I could get up from this bed
rip these arrows from my arms
‘cause you are horn and I am ivory
and I don’t deserve your sympathy
save some face, that’s yr philosophy
leave this mess of lies and irony
