lyrics

I mark your absence with the passing weeks
and wonder
if you’re delighted by the silence.
You think I’m treading but my head’s been underwater.
Lungs filled, quietly drowning.
I stopped noticing the static.
It takes the shape of forward motion over time.
And words that used to rhyme just sound discordant.
The chords of a chorus are droning on
in the background of my mind,
but they’re not mine.

If you want the truth,
I only woke up just to talk to you.
The rest was filler at best.
And I will trade and barter
to derive a healthy state of mind
from this hurt I’ve harbored,
while you’re doing okay.

You remind me of an old friend I knew.
You remind me of a habit I outgrew.
(You remind me)
You remind me of an old friend I knew.
(You remind me)
You remind me of a habit I outgrew.

I guess I’m better off
clinging to half-happy thoughts
I guess I’m better off
clinging to half-happy thoughts
