lyrics

Try and, scrape the, scabs off of your tongue. Cough and, push the, shit out of your lungs. You rip and, tear at, the skin that you’ve just stung. A futile, gesture, learned when you were young. Memories are just a well-laid trap, places that you’ve been but can’t go back. Disrupted, sleep and, equilibrium. You’re drinking to the point of delirium. Displaced, memories, you wish that you could sell haunted, by places, you once knew very well. Chorus. Notebooks, and photos will never be arranged remainders, reminders of a clock you cannot change. Memories are just a well-laid trap, places that you’ve been but can’t go back. Time’s a foreign code that you can’t crack, a lost location on a map you lack. Hope is like the spring of a trap. There’s a place you’ve never been but can’t go back.
