lyrics
This empty room makes the dust accumulate. An open suitcase in the corner, more like an open casket. I see the face of the son I’ll never meet. Remember what it felt like to be reckless. Forgot what it meant to be carefree.
Give me back my lightheartedness. This premature loss of innocence is like taxes on my fines making me recede into the darkest parts of my life.
She cried alone over the kitchen sink. She still remembers the coffee burning, she couldn’t feel her limbs. You try to sleep it off, you try to cry it out. Some things just keep on hitting harder, the harder you try to block them out.
Take me back to lightheartedness. This disappointed cynic is someone I don’t know, a fading shadow of the person I miss the most.
I want superpowers to make the pain go away. But if I go back in time, I know I’ll do the same. I want them but they don’t really need me. I want them but they’re better off without me.
So we reminisce on memories that we barely made. The stories are simple, you wish there was more. Is this all artificial hate? Waiting in the cold for your friends at the subway station thinking about the moments when we spoke about the dreams slipped between the cracks, about the conversations that we never started, the connections we failed to grasp. The wooden bars soaked with spilled drinks always take me back to the peaceful nights, back to the lights.
I miss pure bliss. If you’re blissful, then you’re lucky. It’s hard to feel that again. If you’re blissful, then you’re lucky. Blissful means you’re lucky. Blissful means you’re lucky.
