about

Jesus Christ sent us the holy grail one midsummer night. We drank OJ out of it.

lyrics

This room feels like nothing more than an empty space
filled with traces of people just passing through,
and the still air is colder than the middle of November, but
I can't stand the look in their eyes when they see me looking back.
So I guess I'll find a dry spot on the roof.
With my luck, there's no stairway, but God, there's no turning back.
I guess I'll look for another way home
to avoid all the old spots that have gone bad.
I guess the little things are burying me under insecurity,
and I can't breathe.
I guess the smoke out of the window in the closed down parking lot
of the Parks Mall is leaving everything a bit too filthy.
And I'm sure no one ever wanted to leave,
but they did without me.

I'll sit alone in my room,
and stare at the wall thinking nothing at all.
I'll hold onto everything that I'm used to.
I'll sit alone on the bench at Stovall Park and at the apartment,
so just leave me.
I'm not how I seem.

It's 9:30 but it feels like 3am.
The sun's down, the moons rising,
the quiet's loud and Taylor's saying
something feels black.
I used to have friends with houses off Little Rd.
but no one's there anymore,
and no one's coming back.

I'd say that life goes on.
He said it might not,
but I still think there's a little more here.
And I'm not being hopeless,
I'm just saying that most things aren't getting better.
And I'm nowhere close to dying but I
can't help to think it's just a lie they're telling me
to keep me happy,
well I'm not happy.
