About the Artist
Lyrics
When leaky holes and fire escapes Set the evening for tone You and your holy halo start to burn And eventually just froze Sewn into the carpet Just trying to thaw out whatever I know The thermostat it won't go higher Not that you or I know And I was drinking heavily Burst into your bedroom belligerently Asked her if she's done a thing Like stepping out and making a scene So foolishly I, apathetic So I blamed your family And never mended it Shitty brakes and balding tires We're out around on the road You and my little sister Flashy, frequent, scariest snow And we returned just fine Started to crack your analytical code By the time you're convinced, I know When I was drinking heavily I burst into your bedroom confusingly Yelled about a bunch of things That if you looked you'd never see For all eternity And I blamed you for not being Someone you could not be Someone you'll never be Now I see everything And everyone you see Killing time alone inside A stripped and naked-est home Couldn't catch my brain up With the sights and fear that I saw Fell into the doorway Just hoping you had left the guitars It's way too late for calling anyways I guess I'll doze off It's way too late for calling anyways I guess I'll doze off It's way too late for calling anyways I guess I'll doze off It's way too late for calling anyways I guess I'll doze off It's way too late for calling anyways I guess I'll doze off I've been drinking carefully I creep into our bedroom And watch you sleep My mind it wanders onto things That if I try I can't explain As if there's something worse As if there's something worse To have weaned away your worth When I was so absurd Well, is there something worse?
