lyrics

Old friend.
You coward.
Can I raise my head to see?

This end game.
Is a tsunami.
Rejection crashes over me.

She said i'd see you in the end.
My perfect stranger.
My perfect friend.

Suckerpunch.
And i'm rolling.
Through this town we pounded street by street.

I'm heart sick.
On the pavement.
Knowing this is the last time we'll meet.

She said i'd see you in the end.
My perfect stranger.
My perfect friend.
But I knew i'd see you through the eyes.
Of someone who loves you.
But has to say goodbye.

So don't turn around,
I've hit the ground,
Under these fading, city lights.
Or walk with me.
To A & E.
Feeling flatlined tonight.

And just that like,
I can feel the grief.
Not for you, not for me,
But the life we were supposed to lead.
And the distance between us has grown,
With everything you should have said,
And everything I shouldn't have.

And I look down at my feet,
And they're still just my feet.
Nobody else in the world notices the change but me.
But even standing right there you're gone,
Too far for me to reach.
It's like i'm 12 again and I'm listening to The Streets.
I can feel my heart breaking beneath my feet.
It's eat, sleep, flatline... and repeat.

So don't turn around,
I've hit the ground,
Under these fading city lights. Or walk with me.
To A & E.
Feeling flatlined tonight.

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq
