lyrics

do you still think of me?
i know you're not enough
but i want to know if i mattered
like an incision leaves a scar
like a tumor leaves a wound,
more room for me to move
but i just feel the emptiness
of what i fought to lose

like i wasn't the one who removed it
like i wasn't the one who couldn't prove it
like it was just someone
like all the books told us
like it was only one
even though it wasn't

i haven't apologized
for every little thing i fumbled, mistook or had to rethink
is that asking you to the very same thing that i refuse?

like i wasn't the one who removed it
like i wasn't the one who couldn't prove it
like i was just someone like everybody told us
like it was only one even though it wasn't

because nothing's overlapping like the real cause
nothing's overlapping enough to give real pause
to every single pair soaking it all in
to all the eyes and ears
hanging by a thread

upside down with you hands in the muck, nothing's moving
as slow as you are, the right it wants what the left's protecting
and it isn't martyrdom and it isn't what you lack
but 'round and 'round you go until you give in to it

give in to it

I don't hear a lot of this kind of music, gives me ,loose Sonic Youth vibes. Everything about it is cool, like too cool for school cool. I want to skip class and spray paint an alley with these people. Kyle Zarnoch
